	question text	To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether he is taking steps to help ensure that the Israeli government is implementing the International Court of Justice’s decision on the request for provisional measures in the case concerning Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2024 answer text <p>We respect the role and independence of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). However, we have stated that we have considerable concerns about this case, which is not helpful in the goal of achieving a sustainable ceasefire. Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas in line with International Humanitarian Law, as we have said from the outset. Our view is that Israel's actions in Gaza cannot be described as a genocide, which is why we thought South Africa's decision to bring the case was wrong and provocative. We have long advocated for the immediate release of hostages and the need to get more aid. We are clear that an immediate pause is necessary to get aid in and hostages out, and then we want to build towards a sustainable, permanent ceasefire, without a return to the fighting.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 06/02/2024 17:29:53 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

It is not appropriate to speculate on who may be sanctioned in the future, as to do so could reduce their impact.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 19/06/2023 08:50:39 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan

We have not discussed this with them directly but we have been clear that all businesses operating in Myanmar should conduct thorough due diligence to ensure they are not inadvertently supporting the Myanmar military. Since the military coup in Myanmar on 1st February 2021, the UK has led international efforts to reduce the military's access to revenue, arms and equipment. We have imposed fourteen rounds of sanctions on the regime, most recently on 31 January, designating companies involved in the supply of aviation fuel to the Myanmar Air Force. We will continue to consider both sanctions and non-sanctions measures to hold this brutal regime to account.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 22/02/2023 17:48:18 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2022 answer text <p>The UK Government reiterates its sympathy for UK victims of Qadhafi-sponsored IRA terrorism and indeed for all victims of the Troubles. The Government set out its position on Mr Shawcross's report on compensation for UK victims of Qadhafi-sponsored IRA terrorism in a Written Ministerial Statement made on 23 March 2021. Mr Shawcross's report was commissioned as an internal scoping report, to provide internal advice to Ministers. Its content is based on private, confidential conversations and information shared on this basis. The Government will not be publishing the report. The responsibility for providing compensation specifically for the actions of the Qadhafi regime lies with the Libyan State. The Government has repeatedly urged the Libyan authorities, including at the highest levels of the Libyan government, to engage with UK victims and their representatives and to address their claims for compensation.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 21/12/2022 12:55:52 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

In 2020 the Governor of the Cayman Islands enacted civil partnership legislation to recognise same-sex partnerships in order to comply with the Cayman Islands Court of Appeal. The UK Government continues to engage with and encourage remaining Territories that have not put in place arrangements to recognise and protect same sex relationships, to do so.</p><p>The UK Government remains open to further engagement with LGBT+ activists and organisations across the Overseas Territories to support increased recognition and protections for same-sex relationships in the Overseas Territories.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 08/11/2022 16:55:29 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
