answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>We welcomed the February 2014 report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on Sri Lanka and its recommendation that the Sri Lankan government ‘establish a truth-seeking mechanism and national reparations policy in accordance with international standards as an integral part of a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to transitional justice'.</p><p>As noted in the Chairman's Summary of the Global Summit on Ending Sexual Violence in Conflict held in London 11-13 June, and in line with the UN High Commissioner's recommendations, reparations are one of the most valuable ways of supporting survivors of sexual violence in conflict, often cited by victims and survivors of sexual violence as key to their recovery.</p><p>The UK was a main co-sponsor of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolution on Sri Lanka passed on 27 March 2014, which establishes an international investigation into alleged violations and abuses of international law on both sides of the military conflict in Sri Lanka, in addition to calling for progress on human rights and reconciliation. The resolution expresses serious concern at continuing reports of sexual and gender based violence. We continue to offer our full support to the Office of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in establishing an international investigation as mandated by the UN Human Rights Council.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 07/07/2014 11:23:00 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi

tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL479
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2014 answer text <p>The British Government understands the importance of reparations for victims and survivors of sexual violence who often cite this issue as key to their social, psychological and economic recovery. We strongly supported the launch of new Guidance from the UN Secretary General on reparations for conflict related sexual violence at the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, hosted by the UK on 10-13 June. This included a specific session on reparation schemes in post conflict settings. We firmly support the participation of survivors in determining appropriate reparations and believe reparations should not only focus only on financial compensation but also the dignity, social status and health of victims.</p><p>The UK is also an active supporter of the International Criminal Court's (ICC) Trust Fund for Victims (TFV). The TFV was established under the Rome Statute to support victims and to help build lasting peace and reconciliation in war torn societies – such as the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since 2012, the UK has provided £2.8 million to the TFV and our most recent contribution (£1 million) was specifically earmarked for projects that support the survivors of acts of sexual violence.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 02/07/2014 12:32:53 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
