answer text <p>We are committed to supporting the implementation of the EU-Turkey deal, which is key to managing effectively migratory flows and preventing people risking their lives in attempts to cross the Aegean. As declared in a joint EU statement issued on 14 October, we remain engaged in efforts to effectively address the serious humanitarian and refugee crisis, and ensuring the safety of refugees. We and our European partners have been clear that we cannot support any plans to return refugees to Syria unless conditions are in place for voluntary, safe and dignified return.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We are aware of reports concerning Mr Rusynov's imprisonment in a non-government controlled area of Eastern Ukraine. We remain extremely concerned about the lack of access for human rights bodies to non-government-controlled territories in Eastern Ukraine. It is essential that independent investigations take place to deliver accountability for all serious allegations of violations. We have called upon Russia to use its influence over the separatists to provide this access and to ensure respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We are concerned by the crackdown on the right to freedom of expression in illegally annexed Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk. The British Government provides financial support to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, which works to report and reduce human rights violations and abuses in Crimea and eastern Ukraine. We also support the work of Global Rights Compliance, which builds the capacity and resources of human rights defenders in order to identify human rights violations in Crimea.</p><p>During my recent visit to Ukraine, I met representatives from several Crimean non-governmental organisations to discuss the challenges they face as a result of Russia's continued attacks on Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. I made clear the United Kingdom's condemnation of these attacks.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​The United Kingdom is steadfast in our support for Georgia's territorial integrity and sovereignty. The EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia performs an important role to monitor the implementation of the 2008 Peace Agreements that followed the Georgia-Russia conflict of August 2008 - it is the only international peacekeeping mission tasked with this role. Looking ahead it is important that our future relationship with the EU should include a security relationship that will enable the United Kingdom and the EU to combat the shared threats faced by our citizens, domestically and abroad.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We believe that meaningful political dialogue, taken forward by Hong Kong under its high degree of autonomy, is the best way to resolve the current impasse. It is important that the basic freedoms enshrined in the Sino-British Joint Declaration are maintained.</p><p>The Sino-British Joint Declaration is a legally binding treaty, registered with the UN, that remains in force. The UK, as a co-signatory, has an obligation to monitor its implementation closely, and we are committed to doing so.</p><p>The Prime Minister discussed developments in Hong Kong with other leaders at the recent G7 Summit. In his discussion with Chinese State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on 31 July, the Foreign Secretary raised Hong Kong, including the importance of upholding the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ framework, which is set out in the Joint Declaration.</p> more like this
