answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2020 answer text <p>President Duque's government has publicly committed to implementing the Peace Accords of 2016 in their entirety. In meetings with the President in London last year, the then-Foreign Secretary made it clear that the UK sees the transitional justice system, including the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, and the involvement of victims as vital elements of the 2016 accords. President Duque's signing of the transitional justice law last June was welcome, and we are pleased that the institutions established under that law have since begun their work.</p><p>We continue to emphasise our support for transitional justice both with the Colombian government and in multilateral fora, including most recently at the UN Security Council on 14 July, where our Permanent Representative commended the institutions' quick adaptation to the COVID-19 pandemic by moving their work online. We are aware that the parties to the Peace Accord would like the UN Verification Mission to take on a role verifying compliance with the sanctions handed down by the Special Jurisdiction for Peace. The UK has been publicly supportive of this.</p><p>The UK Government has contributed over £26 million towards transitional justice mechanisms and victims of the conflict in Colombia since 2016.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 20/07/2020 15:04:37 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2019 answer text <p>We are concerned that some women’s rights defenders, including Loujain al-Hathloul, remain in detention. We raise our concerns regularly and freely, using a range of Ministerial and diplomatic channels, including our Ambassador and Embassy team in Riyadh. The Foreign Secretary raised the detention of women’s rights defenders during his visit to Saudi Arabia in March. The UK was signatory to the joint statement on 7 March at the United Nations Human Rights Council which raised significant concerns about reports of continuing arrests and arbitrary detentions of human rights defenders in Saudi Arabia, including women's rights activists. The UK, along with other embassies in Saudi Arabia, requested and were denied access to the trials of women’s rights defenders that took place on 13 and 27 March.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 18/06/2019 16:46:43 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
