I co-chaired the UK-Bahrain Joint Working Group meeting on 4 December 2014 with the
Undersecretary of the Bahraini Ministry of the Interior, H.E Abdullah Abdulatif Abdulla.
We discussed progress on the implementation of the recommendations of the Bahrain
Independent Commission of Inquiry Report and UN Human Rights Council Universal Periodic
Review, and agreed that the UK would continue to provide assistance to Bahrain’s reform
programme, with a continuing focus on strengthening human rights and the rule of law,
in 2015. The British Government will continue to encourage the Government of Bahrain
to build on the success of the recent elections and move forward with further reform
to advance the democratisation and human rights agenda.
