Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) has welcomed the United Kingdom Government's support of a United Nations investigation into crimes against humanity in Burma, according to the Christian Today website.
On March 25, 2010, British ambassador to the UN, Mark Lyell, backed the recommendation by the UN's Special Rapporteur to Burma earlier in the month for a commission of inquiry to be set up.
He said the UK Government would support the referral of a case to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
CSW's East Asia Team Leader Benedict Rogers said: "It is vital that in the run-up to the regime's fake elections, its crimes against humanity, and the prevailing culture of the impunity in Burma are addressed by the United Nations, and action is taken to end the regime's campaign of rape, forced labor, torture, destruction, killing, and terror."
