answer text <p>The British Government is a strong supporter of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and is committed to the prevention of atrocity crimes; through the UN system, bilaterally and also through other multilateral fora. The UK continues to prioritise this work in the Security Council: supporting debates, briefings from the Special Advisors on Genocide Prevention and R2P, and campaigning for swift effective action where the risk of mass atrocities exists. As the majority of atrocity crimes happen in and around conflict, our continued efforts in the Security Council to maintain peace and security ensure our representatives retain focus on these important issues.</p> more like this
