star this property answer text <p>​Following the failed coup in 2016 and the subsequent imposition of a State of Emergency, we expect Turkey, as a modern democracy, to undertake any legal processes against elected representatives and activists fairly, transparently and with full respect for the rule of law. It is important that legal measures under the State of Emergency be proportionate, justified and in line with Turkey's democratic principles and its international human rights obligations. We have made these points consistently with Turkish Ministers, as has the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government committed £57 million to meet the immediate humanitarian needs of the Overseas Territories affected. This funding supported the response across the territories of Anguilla, British Virgin Islands and Turks and Caicos Islands, and accordingly, it is not possible to break the figure down between the three. A further £15 million for early recovery activity was subsequently committed, of which £6.5 million was allocated to Anguilla.</p><p>On 28 November the Prime Minister announced an additional and final £70 million package of recovery and reconstruction support for the affected three Territories. We anticipate a significant proportion of this will be made available to Anguilla. This will be supplemented by up to £300 million of UK loan guarantees for Territories that need support to access finance.</p> more like this

I made these points to the Bangladesh High Commissioner Nazmul Quaunine and Foreign Secretary Shahidul Haque when they met on 2 November. The Foreign Secretary has spoken to Aung San Suu Kyi three times since this crisis began, most recently on 21 October, when he urged her to implement her commitment to ensure the return of refugees. At ASEM (20-21 November) I met with Minister of Defence U Sein Win, the Chief of Staff to State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, U Kyaw Tin Swe and the Deputy Foreign Minister U Kyaw Tin and in each meeting raised the need for early returns. The principle of non-refoulement is also detailed in the United Nations Security Council Presidential Statement made on 6 November – a statement the UK was instrumental in achieving.</p> more like this

Furthermore, a large number of individuals and entities are also designated because of their support for, or links to, the IRGC. Listings fall under the EU's proliferation and human rights sanctions regimes relating to Iran, as well as under the EU Syria sanctions regime.</p><p>The UK – including during the Foreign Secretary’s recent visit to Washington – regularly talks to the US about a variety of issues related to Iran, including our commitment to keeping the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and our concerns about Iran’s destabilising activities in the region.</p> more like this

Collectively, NATO as an Alliance discusses, on a regular basis, its nuclear policy, doctrine and capability including forward deployed nuclear forces. The stationing of nuclear weapons on the territory of a particular NATO member is governed by a bilateral agreement between the US and the host nation.</p> more like this
