Recommendation
We recommend that the UK draft a United Nations Security Council resolution calling explicitly for an arms embargo on Myanmar in order to gauge the current level of support and the type of diplomatic engagement that is required to establish an effective arms embargo. The ultimate objective of the UK should be securing a binding Security Council resolution on an arms embargo on Myanmar.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government states it is a longstanding supporter of an arms embargo and has implemented one domestically and through G7/UN General Assembly efforts, but currently finds a lack of support for a binding UN Security Council resolution, thus not proceeding with drafting one at this time.
