answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2016 answer text <p>The sanctions threat in UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2304 relates specifically to the obstruction of the UN Mission in South Sudan or the deployment of a Regional Protection Force. However, the obstruction of the activities of international peacekeeping, diplomatic, or humanitarian missions in South Sudan or of the delivery or distribution of, or access to, humanitarian assistance are some of the criteria set out in UNSCR 2290, which renewed the sanctions regime on South Sudan until 31 May 2017.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 08/09/2016 15:07:41 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2016 answer text We are working with humanitarian partners, including the International Committee of the Red Cross and United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (who both receive Department for International Development funding) to assess the situation and mobilise responses where possible, including the provision of water, food and health services for internally displaced persons. However, at present, continued insecurity is a significant barrier to humanitarian operations in some areas. We are pressing for action at the UN Security Council to ensure that United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan has the equipment and unrestricted access it needs to fulfil its mandated task of providing a secure environment for the delivery of humanitarian assistance. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 18/07/2016 15:41:26 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2016 answer text <p>Whilst we have not been able to be in direct contact with President Salva Kiir or First Vice President Riek Machar since the escalation in fighting on 10 July, we have in the past made repeated representations to both, urging them to abide by the terms of the peace agreement they signed up to in August 2015. The further fighting that has broken out is therefore deeply disappointing and we are working with regional and international partners to ensure a clear message on the necessity for a lasting ceasefire and condemnation of violence from all sides.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 18/07/2016 15:38:50 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2016 answer text <p>The dialogue is an important juncture in our relationship and we were invited by Sudan to commence it. Let me make it very clear that we need to continue to support Sudan. It is a source, host and transit country for migration. What is going on there affects the rest of Europe, and so we want to continue to help with the dire humanitarian situation there. Given that 2.5 million people are long-term displaced in Darfur alone, people need our support.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 12/07/2016 16:15:19 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
