answer text <p>The UK continues to be deeply concerned by the incidences of hate speech in Myanmar. Our Ambassador discussed the impact of social media on intercommunal relations and the necessity of interfaith dialogues in his meeting with the Minister for Religious Affairs on 9 August. Our Embassy continues to work with local partners in Myanmar to tackle this issue.</p><p>The British Government continues to raise Myanmar at the UN Human Rights Council. We played a leading role, working with EU partners and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, and secured a UN Human Rights Council Resolution on 27 September that sets out the steps the Government of Myanmar should take to address the spread of discrimination and prejudice and to combat the incitement to hatred against the Rohingya Muslims and other minorities, by publicly condemning such acts and enacting necessary anti-hate speech laws.</p><p>We further secured a UN Human Rights Resolution in March which called upon the Government of Myanmar to step up action to combat incitement to violence and hate speech.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government remains concerned by the humanitarian emergency in Venezuela and the consequent migration of millions of Venezuelan people. Minister for the Commonwealth and UN, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, discussed this issue with the Trinidad and Tobago Minister of National Security in January 2019. Our High Commissioner has also raised on several occasions the need for a process to register incoming Venezuelans with the Government of Trinidad and Tobago. The Trinidad and Tobago government announced in April 2019 that it will review its migration policy and legislation and produce an amnesty plan.</p> more like this

We note that the civilian government in Myanmar has accepted the recommendations contained within the report and we continue to push for full implementation. We recognise that the government has started work on responding to some of the recommendations, but there is still significant progress that needs to be made.

answer text <p>Improving humanitarian and commercial access in Yemen is one of the UK’s top priorities. We have consistently called on all parties to protect civilians, improve commercial and humanitarian access for essential imports of food, fuel and medical supplies; facilitate rapid and safe access to all people in need; and safeguard major access routes and key infrastructure in Yemen, including airports, sea ports and fuel distribution sites. The re-opening of Sana’a international airport was discussed by the Yemeni parties in Stockholm, but they did not reach agreement. We encourage them to continue working closely with the UN to find a solution.</p> more like this

All parties must engage constructively and in good faith to overcome obstacles and find a political solution to end the conflict. A nationwide ceasefire will only have an effect on the ground if it is underpinned by a political settlement between the conflict parties.</p> more like this
