The debate was held on 10 June The text of the Burma Campaign UK statement is as follows. During the debate, MPs from across political parties united in calling for stronger action by the British government, including new sanctions against the Burmese military, action on justice and accountability, and ensuring aid is not cut.Former Foreign Secretary Sir Jeremy Hunt MP, of the Conservative Party, secured the debate, and called for a return of British leadership on the international response to the crisis in Burma, stating:“Britain does not have to stand on the sidelines, Britain must not stand on the sidelines, and I hope that when we hear from the Minister, he will tell us that Britain will not stand on the sidelines.”Sir Jeremy Hunt called for more sanctions on the Burmese military, including on state-owned banks under the control of the Burmese military. He also called for action on Arakha Army human rights violations, British leadership at the United Nations, and more creative ways to refer the entire situation in Burma to the International Criminal Court.Labour MP Luke Akehurst drew attention to the British government stopping imposing new sanctions, the increase of airstrikes by the Burmese military, and called for new sanctions, stating:“Does he agree that we need a new round of sanctions, including potentially targeting the military-owned Mytel mobile phone network, as well as vessels and companies identified by Amnesty and Reuters as delivering jet fuel and materials for making explosives, some of it originating in Iran? ”Labour MP Afzal Khan also called for new sanctions, stating:“The genocide against the Rohingya Muslims, which has been ongoing for almost a decade, is one of the most horrifying examples of Islamophobia.
