Dear John

Usually, we write to you because we need your help to persuade a government or company to change their policy.

This time, we are writing to ask you to help with something slightly different.

Thanks to your support for our campaigns to cut arms, revenue and equipment to the Burmese military, and to hold the military accountable for their crimes, the policy of the British government towards Burma is pretty good.

The problem is, they are not implementing it.
* The British government supports targeted sanctions to cut the flow of money to the military, but it is more than six months since any new sanctions were introduced.
* The British government supports cutting the flow of arms to the military, but when the Prime Minister and government ministers go to India, a major arms supplier to the military, they don’t even mention it.
* The British government supports the Rohingya genocide case at the International Court of Justice (World Court), but won’t call a UN Security Council meeting on the fact that the Burmese military are ignoring World Court orders to prevent ongoing genocide.
* The British government supports stopping the supply of aviation fuel to the Burmese military, but won’t support sanctions stopping British companies being involved in delivering aviation fuel to Burma.

The slow pace of sanctions undermines their effectiveness.

We need to persuade Foreign Secretary James Cleverly to start prioritising Burma and to implement his own policies. Failing to act means the Burmese military is able to access more arms, more revenue and commit more human rights violations.

Please email James Cleverly today, calling on him to implement his own policies ([link removed]) : to speed up the implementation of sanctions on revenue, arms and equipment to the Burmese military and call a meeting of the UN Security Council on the Burmese military defying World Court orders to prevent ongoing genocide of the Rohingya.
