It is our assessment pushing for a Security Council resolution that includes a referral to the International Criminal Court would not be productive in our efforts at this point to ensure accountability and persuade the Burmese authorities to make faster progress on refugee returns, nor would it receive support without veto amongst UNSC members. When the UN Security Council considers the final UN Fact Finding Mission report on Burma, we will have the opportunity to explore urgently all options to ensure accountability, including ICC referral, while also pushing for accelerated progress on refugee returns.
