By 13 September 2017, the United Kingdom had asked the United Nations Security Council to discuss the Rohingya crisis twice: on 29 August and 13 September.
British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said in a statement,
Aung Sang Suu Kyi is rightly regarded as one of the most inspiring figures of our age but the treatment of the Rohingya is alas besmirching the reputation of Burma.
She faces huge challenges in modernising her country.
I hope she can now use all her remarkable qualities to unite her country, to stop the violence and to end the prejudice that afflicts both Muslims and other communities in Rakhine.
It is vital that she receives the support of the Burmese military, and that her attempts at peacemaking are not frustrated.
She and all in Burma will have our full support in this".

A statement by 157 members of Parliament read, "The scale of the human rights and humanitarian crisis unfolding in Myanmar is unprecedented in its recent history.
It requires the attention of the British government at the highest level".
On 14 November 2017, Mark Field stated that "What is happening there looks like ethnic cleansing", assigning responsibility for the humanitarian crisis to the Burmese military.

While visiting Bangladesh, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said "The plight of the Rohingya and the suffering they have had to endure is one of the most shocking humanitarian disasters of our time.
This is a man-made tragedy that could be resolved with the right political will, tolerance and cooperation from all those involved".
Johnson compared the Rohingya situation with the displacement of Palestinians in 1948.
He visited Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazaar, Bangladesh.

In July 2020, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab announced sanctions on 2 high-ranking Myanmar military generals who participated in the systematic and brutal violence against the Rohingya people and other ethnic minorities.
