	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government condemns all persecution on the grounds of religious identity, faith or belief and calls upon all state authorities to respect and protect the universal right to freedom of religion or belief. This policy is implemented both in multilateral fora through relevant resolutions at the UN Security Council, most recently Resolution 2379 on 21 September or Human Rights Council, and through raising cases of persecution in individual countries. I regularly raised this issue with my counterparts in the region, including on a visit to Pakistan on 8-9 November 2017. The FCO Magna Carter Fund for Human Rights and Democracy supports projects designed to promote greater tolerance and to create conditions less conducive to extremism and persecution.​</p><p>​</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 27/11/2017 16:30:07 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
