The British High Commission, alongside international partners, carried out a demarche on the Tanzanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 2 November, urging the authorities to respect human rights and protect all citizens from discrimination. I welcome the Government of Tanzania's statement on 4 November making clear that such threats do not represent government policy, and that it will protect human rights as enshrined in the country's constitution. We must all reject language that invites violence against any group in society. The UK will also continue to raise the importance of wider political freedoms with the Government of Tanzania.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 14/11/2018 15:19:34 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>​We are concerned by reports in the media. As I tweeted on 2 November, language that invites violence against any community in society should be rejected. The British High Commission, alongside international partners, carried out a demarche on the Tanzanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 2 November urging the Tanzanian authorities to respect human rights and protect all Tanzanian citizens from discrimination. We welcome the subsequent statement by the Tanzanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs restating their protection of rights enshrined in their Constitution. We will continue to raise our human rights concerns with the Government of Tanzania and did so most recently at senior official level on 12 November with the Tanzanian High Commissioner to London.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 20/11/2018 12:04:53 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2019 answer text <p>I strongly condemn the ELN's terrorist attack in Bogota last week. Colombia has been steadfast in its rejection of violence for political ends. The 2016 historic peace deal has shown the way, the FARC is now a political party and last year's elections were the safest in decades. The UK continues to support the Colombian authorities as they seek to ensure sustainable peace for all Colombians. Last month I announced an extra £5 million from the Conflict Stability and Security Fund to support Colombia's efforts to secure lasting peace for all its citizens.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 22/01/2019 16:36:48 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
