Baroness Goudie
Labour
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have discussed Burma signing the Rome Statute with any representatives of the Government of Burma.
Baroness Warsi
Senior Minister of State (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) (Jointly with the Department for Communities and Local Government), Senior Minister of State (Department for Communities and Local Government) (Faith and Communities) (also in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office)
We have had no discussions with the Burmese Government on the signing of the Rome Statute.
However, we continue to support UN Human Rights Council and UN General Assembly resolutions which encourage the Burmese Government to conform to established international human rights principles in a number of areas. We continue to stress that, until the Burmese Government resolve the many outstanding issues, we will press for UN resolutions which highlight the strength of our concerns.
