David Stanton (FG), Cork East

I thank the Minister for his response and acknowledge the work he and his officials are doing at EU and UN level. Much has been done. Reading the reports from Myanmar is horrifying, as the Minister has alluded to. He mentioned the Rohingya. Will he comment on the plight of those people? I have met some of them here. They are gentle people. I think there are 1 million of them in Bangladesh at the moment in a precarious situation as well. The Minister mentioned sexual abuse, torture, execution, the death penalty and so on.
Will he comment on calls for a global arms embargo and what is being done to make that happen?
