answer text <p>We monitor the ongoing tensions in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region closely and are aware of the incident reported in Rangamati. We condemn all acts of violence and call on the Bangladeshi authorities to investigate all such incidents promptly, transparently and impartially. At Bangladesh's second Universal Periodic Review at the Human Rights Council on 29 April 2013 the British Government urged the Government of Bangladesh to fulfil its commitment to fully implement the 1997 Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord which will provide greater security to indigenous populations by establishing political and social rights and providing a mechanism for resolving land disputes.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>In much the same way as the .uk domain, the administration of the .io domain has always been carried out by a private sector organisation – this is currently the Internet Computer Bureau. As with the .uk domain, the Government receives no revenues from the sales or administration of this domain, and there are therefore no plans to share these with Chagossians.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative (PSVI), launched by the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Rt. Hon. Friend the Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Mr Hague), and the Special Envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in May 2012, is focused on ending impunity for crimes of sexual violence committed in conflict and the provision of greater support to the survivors of these crimes. Where caste based sexual violence and so-called punishment rape are used in conflict they fall within the overarching objectives of the Initiative.</p><p>PSVI is complemented by wider government activity on tackling violence against women and girls, underpinned by the cross-government action plan, ‘A Call to End Violence against Women and Girls', which sets out the Government's programme of domestic and international work in this area. This includes working though our network of embassies overseas and with non-governmental organisations to address the full range of violations of women's rights, including sexual and other forms of violence committed against them.</p>

answer text <p>The British Government recognises the important role of non-governmental organisations. Together with other donors we plan to discuss the draft Foreign Donations Act with the Government of Bangladesh, and will consult non-governmental organisations that will be affected by the legislation. We welcome the consultations that have taken place between the Government of Bangladesh and non-governmental organisations, and hope these will continue.</p> more like this
