<p>This Government is continuing its work to oppose the death penalty as part of its
broader efforts to promote human rights. Our commitment to the Rules Based International
Order underpins this work, including through bilateral and multilateral support to
global efforts to abolish the death penalty. We do not intend to publish a new strategy
specific to the death penalty; but we will be publishing a strategy for the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office (FCO)’s Human Rights and Democracy Programme Fund shortly,
which will show how work to abolish the death penalty is important under all three
of the strategy’s new themes. The FCO’s death penalty-related work will also be covered
in future instalments of the FCO’s Annual Human Rights Report.</p>
