UK has confirmed its intention to intervene in The Gambia v Myanmar case with the International Court of Justice to support international justice efforts.
UK Minister for Asia Amanda Milling has confirmed this in a press release today (August 25, 2022).
"The case will determine whether Myanmar has violated its obligations under the Genocide Convention in relation to the military's acts against the Rohingya in 2016 and 2017," the release added.
The UK has also announced a further round of sanctions to target military-linked businesses in Myanmar, said a press release.
The UK takes the fresh action against the Myanmar Armed Forces on the fifth anniversary of the military's campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Rohingyas.
"Those being sanctioned include Star Sapphire Group of Companies, International Gateways Group of Companies Limited (IGG) and Sky One Construction Company Ltd. They are being sanctioned in an effort to limit the military's access to arms and revenue," the release added.
The Myanmar Armed Forces launched a devastating attack on the Rohingya communities living in Rakhine State, Myanmar on 25 August 2017. A UN Fact Finding Mission report stated that over 10,000 Rohingya were killed and 740,000 displaced into neighbouring Bangladesh.
Amanda Milling said: "The UK will always face down those who seek to undermine and destroy our values of freedom and democracy. Five years on, we continue to stand in solidarity with the Rohingya people and condemn the Myanmar Armed Forces' horrific campaign of ethnic cleansing."
"Our decision to intervene in The Gambia v Myanmar case and a further round of sanctions sends a strong signal of our continued support to seek accountability for the atrocities in 2017 and also restrict the military junta's access to finance and the supply of arms."
The UK now reiterates the call for the abolition of the 1982 Citizenship Law and the restoration of Rohingya citizenship.
Since 2017 the UK has provided £330 million in aid to the camps, supporting food needs, shelter, sanitation, education, medical, and protection services.

By THE IRRAWADDY 1 September 2022
Nineteen Myanmar junta police officers were reportedly killed on Wednesday when the Arakan Army (AA) seized an outpost in Maungdaw Township near the Bangladesh border in northern Rakhine State.
The AA said in a statement that the seizure was in response to the shelling of civilians in Mrauk-U Township on Sunday.
On Sunday, three battalions based in the township and other regime forces bombed seven villages.
Three Rakhine civilians, Mg Myat Thu, five, U Hlat Thein, 38, and Daw Aye Nu Yin, 69, were killed and nine others wounded.
The AA said it also seized an army border base on Wednesday after a fierce clash.
It submitted a photo of the dead police officers, claiming that 19 personnel were killed, including Captain Soe Soe Paing, and a sergeant was seriously wounded. The AA said its troops suffered some casualties.
The group said it found many buried bodies of soldiers at the army base who were killed during recent fighting.
The Irrawaddy could not independently verify the reports.
Since August 2 fighting has occurred in the area and neighboring Paletwa Township, Chin State, after the AA attacks along the border.
Around six army border bases have been firing numerous shells after being attacked by the AA. Fighter jets and helicopters have also been deployed.
On Wednesday, 10 regime soldiers were reportedly killed by the AA near Myeik Wa village in Paletwa Township, the armed group claimed.
The junta faces attacks and ambushes from resistance forces across the country nearly every day.
