Both the region and the parties to the conflict must ensure that the agreement is implemented in full and without delay, and that it is robustly and independently monitored. However, the new ceasefire does not negate the need to respond to the continued and repeated violations of the December 2017 Cessation of Hostilities Agreement. We stand ready to support action by IGAD and the African Union to signal an end to impunity by delivering punitive measures against those responsible.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 04/07/2018 15:09:26 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
