	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2015 answer text We remain deeply concerned about the human rights situation in Yemen. The conflict and temporary suspension of Embassy operations in Sana’a in February 2015 has hampered our ability to pursue human rights work. The UK has previously lobbied the Yemeni Government – both bilaterally and through the Human Rights Council – on a wide range of human rights issues. We continue to raise the importance of compliance with human rights law with all sides to the conflict and to find a political solution to the conflict, which will help create the conditions for the legitimate Government to improve its capacity to protect human rights. The UK welcomes Yemen's commitment at the last Human Rights Council session to cooperate with the UN on protection of human rights. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 27/10/2015 15:44:55 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
