tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL6907
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2018 answer text <p>The UK fully supports UN Security Council Resolution 2401 and has convened emergency briefings of the UN Security Council to press for implementation of the ceasefire. In line with the resolution, we have urged de-escalation in Afrin, the protection of civilians and the provision of humanitarian aid, while recognising Turkey's legitimate security interests. The genesis and motivation of this resolution was to assist civilians by calling for weekly deliveries of humanitarian aid and medical evacuations of the critically ill, especially in Eastern Ghouta, which at the time was subject to bombardment and siege by the Assad regime.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/04/2018 15:48:48 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have any evidence that Turkey is settling Syrian Islamist allied militias and their families within Afrin Canton; and if so, what action they will take.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL6908
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2018 answer text <p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office does not have conclusive evidence to suggest that Turkish-backed forces are settling in Afrin. The UK has consistently called for freedom of movement for those caught up in the violence, in accordance with international humanitarian law. This includes the right of return and protection of property for any internally displaced persons who have fled following the recent operation in Afrin. It is essential that the rights of internally displaced persons are protected and those who wish to return are able to do so freely. We will continue to raise this point with Turkish counterparts in our discussions with them.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/04/2018 15:49:41 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to all non-lethal alternatives to military action in Syria.
tabling member printed	Lord Truscott
uin	HL6958
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2018 answer text <p>The decision by the UK, US and France to conduct a carefully targeted military action to degrade and deter further use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime was only taken because all non-military options had been exhausted. These efforts have included a negotiated agreement with the regime, guaranteed by Russia, to declare and give up all its chemical weapons capabilities, but the regime and Russia have subsequently failed to respect their commitments. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism to attribute responsibility for attacks was established but later blocked by Russia. Russia has also vetoed any attempt at the Security Council to hold those responsible to account. The EU has brought sanctions against those involved in the use of chemical weapons in Syria. Regrettably these diplomatic efforts had proved insufficient to prevent continued chemical attacks. The UK Government remains clear that the UN-led Geneva process between the Syrian parties, mandated by UN Security Council Resolution 2254, remains the forum for reaching a lasting political settlement to end the conflict in Syria.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/04/2018 15:57:00 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
