answer text

<p>The British Government has no role in vetting or screening public and security officials from other countries. However, we do carefully consider our engagement with institutions in the security and justice fields overseas. Any relevant assistance provided by the UK to Sri Lankan institutions is subject to robust Overseas Security and Justice Assistance (OSJA) assessments that analyse the potential human rights, international humanitarian law, political and reputational risks of any proposed assistance. This is to ensure UK assistance is in line with our values and is consistent with our domestic and international human rights obligations.</p><p></p>
