Saudi Arabia has publicly stated that it is investigating reports of alleged violations of IHL, and that any lessons learned will be acted upon. They have the best insight into their own military procedures. This is the standard we set ourselves and our allies. For example, when allegations have been made against us in Afghanistan and Iraq we investigated these claims.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 25/07/2016 15:57:37 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2016 answer text The Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Mr Johnson), has made clear that the Government continues to be fully supportive of the work of the work of the UN Special Envoy. The UK’s funding for the UN Special Envoy for Yemen’s office, alongside support from other donors, is assisting the UN-led peace process. It enables the UN to recruit technical experts on issues such as mediation, ceasefire design and monitoring, and disarmament and demobilisation. Our support is also helping the UN deliver the logistics of holding formal talks, shuttle diplomacy, and engaging with other political actors in Yemen. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 25/07/2016 16:00:00 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

uin	HL1082
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2016 answer text <p>The British Government unreservedly condemns torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and it is a government priority to combat it wherever it occurs. We are aware that there have been allegations in Bahrain, and we raise concerns with the authorities. Our support to Bahrain’s reform programme focuses on strengthening independent oversight bodies such as the Ministry of Interior Ombudsman and the Prisoners and Detainees Rights Commission (PDRC) who provide oversight of police behaviour and detention standards. In May, the PDRC released an independent report which included testimonies of detainees and highlighted a number of key concerns in respect to prison conditions at Jau Prison. We welcome the transparent approach taken by the PDRC, and the Ministry of Interior’s commitment to implement all recommendations made in the report. We continue to call upon the Government of Bahrain to agree a visit of the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 25/07/2016 15:48:38 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
