answer text <p>The British Government is concerned by reports of the deteriorating political environment in Guinea, and about demonstrations that have led to a number of violent incidents, including deaths. In its statement at the United Nations Human Rights Council’s 35th Universal Periodic Review on 21 January, the UK urged the Government of Guinea to ensure the safety of journalists and human rights defenders, so they could exercise their rights to freedom of expression and association without fear of reprisals. We also said that it was crucial that elections were transparent, fair, timely and credible.</p><p>The United Kingdom supports freedom of expression as a fundamental human right alongside freedom of the media. We regularly raise our concerns about civic and political issues with the Government of Guinea, most recently by our Ambassador in Conakry who met Guinea’s Minister for Foreign Affairs on 23 January.</p><p>The UK, alongside other international partners, has urged all parties to renew dialogue, avoid disproportionate use of force, and demonstrate calmness and restraint. The British Government stands ready to support Guinea in its efforts to become a more peaceful, stable and democratic country.</p>

answer text <p>The UK is clear that lasting peace and stability in Libya will come only through an inclusive political settlement. We are actively engaged in international diplomatic efforts to secure an end to the fighting and a return to the UN-led political process. The Prime Minister represented the UK at the Berlin conference on Libya on 19 January, alongside other international leaders. He urged those present to respect the UN Arms Embargo and support a ceasefire and a return to the UN-led political process. We now call on all countries to honour the commitments they made in Berlin and urge the Libyan parties to seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict.</p> more like this
