Government support for human rights in Myanmar

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

This Westminster Hall debate, sponsored by former Conservative Chancellor Sir Jeremy Hunt, examines the UK government's stance on human rights conditions in Myanmar. The debate will scrutinise what diplomatic and other pressure the government is applying to address alleged abuses by Myanmar's military regime and whether current UK policy is sufficiently robust.

Myanmar's military coup in 2021 triggered widespread international concern about atrocities and the displacement of over a million people. The debate holds the government to account on whether its human rights advocacy matches its stated values and influences international humanitarian standards, affecting UK credibility on the global stage and the welfare of Myanmar's persecuted populations.
