question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what are the United Kingdom's obligations under the Responsibility to Protectframework inrelation to the Central African Republic.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL7011
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p>The UK is committed to the concept of the Responsibility to Protect which was endorsed by all UN Member States in 2005. This included a declaration that the international community should encourage and help states to fulfil their responsibilities to their own populations, and be prepared to take action if a state failed to do so. The UK supports international efforts to protect the population of the Central African Republic (CAR), including through the UN Security Council. This was demonstrated by our co-sponsorship of the UN Security Council Resolution to authorise a UN Peacekeeping Mission in CAR (MINUSCA). MINUSCA will assume responsibility for stabilisation and the protection of civilians from the African Union mission (MISCA) in September, and we are supporting ongoing efforts to ensure a timely and effective transition.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the medium-termhumanitarian,securityand protection risksin the Central African Republic.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL7012
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p>The humanitarian and security situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) is extremely poor. The UK is playing a strong role as part of the international community's response, including through significant humanitarian aid, support to the African Union and EU support missions - the International Support Mission to the Central African Republic (MISCA) and the European Union Force (EUFOR), and co-sponsorship of the UN Security Council Resolution that authorised a UN Peacekeeping Operation (PKO). The UN PKO will deploy in September and will have a comprehensive mandate with an initial focus on protecting civilians. However, CAR represents a challenging environment and there is a clear risk insecurity will continue to affect the population of CAR in the medium term. This would continue to affect CAR's neighbours, including through refugee numbers.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi

uin	HL7013
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p>The International Support Mission to the Central African Republic (MISCA) has been crucial in protecting Central African Republic (CAR)'s citizens, and will continue to play a vital role ahead of the deployment of the UN Peacekeeping Operation in September 2014.
