	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>​The UK is committed to supporting peace, stability, and security throughout South Sudan, including in the capital Juba. While levels of violence have reduced since the signing of the peace agreement on 12 September, progress on implementation is slow and inconsistent, violations of the ceasefire continue in some areas, and levels of crime remain high. Through diplomatic engagement by Ministers and senior officials, we continue to urge the parties to demonstrate their commitment to providing safety and security for the South Sudanese people across the country by putting an immediate end to all violence.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 10/12/2018 16:34:39 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>Through diplomatic action the UK seeks to show there will be no impunity for perpetrators of sexual violence in conflict in Burma, including in Kachin and Shan States. In September 2018 the UK co-sponsored the UN Human Rights Council Resolution which established a mechanism to collect and preserve evidence of human rights violations in Burma, including Kachin and Shan states, for use in future prosecutions. The Resolution also called for Burma's Commission of Inquiry to hold to account all those responsible for crimes committed during military operations in Rakhine State, including conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence. The UK co-sponsored the UN General Assembly's Third Committee Resolution which was passed on 15 November and called for a full and independent investigation of human rights violations and abuses committed in Burma, including those reported by the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 10/12/2018 16:22:10 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
