answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>The footage broadcast by British media on 17 July was shocking. I welcome President Biya's decision to open an urgent investigation. Any member of the Cameroonian security forces found to have been involved in human rights violations must be held accountable. There is no justification for such appalling acts. The UK's position on human rights is clear: they are universal and must apply equally to all.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 23/07/2018 15:20:05 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>Senior officials regularly discuss the situation in Cameroon with their P3 counterparts. The British Government is absolutely clear that human rights are universal and must apply equally to all, and that all allegations of abuse must be investigated. It is also an irrefutable fact that respect for human rights is a crucial part of countering extremism, regardless of the security situation, and I have made this point clear when meeting Cameroonian Ministers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 23/07/2018 15:21:34 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
