answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>​The UK is deeply concerned about the deteriorating situation in the North-West and South-West (Anglophone) regions of Cameroon, which continue to suffer from high levels of violence. We condemn all human rights violations and abuses and continue to press the Government of Cameroon to ensure that those responsible face justice. In his address to UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on 25 February, the Minister of State for the Commonwealth and the UN stressed that the cycle of violence in the Anglophone regions in Cameroon must end and urged all sides to come together to initiate a credible, inclusive dialogue to address the root causes of the crisis. The UK and Austria made a joint statement on the human rights situation in Cameroon at the UN Human Rights Council on 21 March, supported by 39 countries, raising concern about the deteriorating human rights situation and calling on Government of Cameroon to establish a credible dialogue.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 26/03/2019 17:04:14 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
