answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2015 answer text The UK is fully committed to working in partnership with foreign governments, including Pakistan, to deliver a sustainable approach against terrorism and violent extremism throughout the world. Through the Counter Terrorism Prosecutorial Reform Initiative (CAPRI) the UK has trained 42 prosecutors in Pakistan who are now working in Anti-Terrorism Courts. The focus of this work is in Punjab, but we have also trained prosecutors from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as well as Baluchistan. The training aims to improve the Pakistani justice system’s ability to prosecute terrorist suspects in line with international human rights standards. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 27/02/2015 12:20:42 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2015 answer text <p>The Government was appalled by the damage to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery and the Benghazi Military Cemetary that occurred in February and June 2012. As soon as UK officials were made aware of the damage, they visited the cemeteries to inspect the damage, and raised the issue with the Libyan authorities in Benghazi and Tripoli. With support from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the site has since been restored to a standard befitting the sacrifice of those commemorated in Benghazi. There is now a patrol and guard outside the cemetery to protect this important site from any further attacks.</p><p>However, the authorities are unable to conduct investigations due to the current political and security situation. The attacks appear to have been carried out by extremist individuals, whose motives are unknown. Other religious sites in Libya have also been attacked since 2011, including Islamic sites. The UK is focused on supporting the efforts of Bernardino Leon, the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General, to build a political settlement and establishing a National Unity Government. This will help stabilise the country and help the judicial system to function again.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood grouped question UIN 222954 question first answered 09/02/2015 16:13:13 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
