answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>Working with international partners, the UK Government has been instrumental in agreeing a tougher approach to deliberate restrictions on humanitarian access by the Government of South Sudan, which sets out clearly the consequences of violations against aid workers. We ensure UK Aid is effective by working through a range of UN and international organisations who are experienced in operating in South Sudan, who are able to work across the country, and who can deliver flexibly according to need.</p><p>The UK continues to provide humanitarian assistance in South Sudan, where half the population is in need. This year we will provide a package of lifesaving support that includes reaching over 500,000 people with food assistance, providing safe drinking water for more than 300,000 people, and providing emergency health services for more than 100,000 people.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 18/07/2017 16:11:04 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>We are deeply concerned about the human rights abuses in South Sudan, especially in the area of sexual violence. The 2015 Peace Agreement mandated the creation of a Hybrid Court in South Sudan for the most serious of crimes. We understand that the African Union has been working on a proposal for such a court and now needs to discuss this with the Government of South Sudan. We urge all parties to accelerate the establishment of the Court. We have jointly led a resolution at the Human Rights Council in Geneva which extended the mandate of the South Sudan Human Rights Commission to gather evidence of crimes for eventual use in a court of law.</p><p>We continue to urge all sides to show restraint, bring an end to the violence in South Sudan, and return to an inclusive and peaceful political process.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 18/07/2017 08:38:36 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
