tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL86
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2016 answer text <p>We do not plan to make such a request at this time as we are already aware of reports by groups such as Human Rights Watch on instances of extra judicial killings.

We also work closely with our EU partners to press for investigations into instances of abuse, and to encourage the protection of human rights defenders. The British Government’s view on the importance of the rule of law is clear, consistent and well known in the Philippines. Our Ambassador wrote an Op-Ed on this subject in the Philippine Star newspaper on 19 May 2016</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 27/05/2016 10:54:21 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
