We continue to track reports of a Chinese company providing Iran with face-recognition technology, which could be used to violate human rights. The UK is committed to holding Iran to account and calling out Iran's human rights violations in a range of multilateral fora. The UK raised Iran at the 52nd session of the UN Human Rights Council, co-sponsored the UN General Assembly resolution on Iran human rights, supported the creation of a UN Fact Finding Mission and helped ensure Iran's removal from the UN Commission on the Status of Women.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 21/06/2023 16:33:58 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

During my visits to Kosovo and Serbia in December, I encouraged a constructive approach and engagement through meaningful dialogue.

He plans to visit Serbia soon.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 11/01/2023 15:20:39 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

The UK resolutely supports Moldova in the face of Russian aggression and disinformation. On 16 March, the Foreign Secretary met Moldovan President Maia Sandu and Foreign Minister Nicu Popescu in Chisinau. He reiterated the UK's steadfast support for sovereign Moldova as it pursues a path of freedom and independence. He also committed a further £10 million of support towards economic and governance reforms. This is in addition to £12 million over three years pledged in 2022 to build a stronger, more resilient Moldova, through our work on anti-corruption, counter-disinformation and reform. On 9 December 2022, the UK sanctioned two Moldovans, Mr Ilan Shor and Mr Vladimir Plahotniuc under its Global Anti-Corruption regime.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 15/05/2023 15:44:30 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
