Our Guidelines give guidance to our diplomatic network on how to support and promote their work. Depending on the local context, this might involve making public statements, attending trials, or working privately with host governments. The UK also supports human rights defenders through programmes within the Magna Carta Fund. Officials in London regularly meet those working on human rights to understand how we can support them best. Working at the multilateral level, in November 2017 the UK helped forge consensus on the UN General Assembly Resolution on Human Rights Defenders, bringing countries together to recognise and support their excellent work done around the globe.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/12/2018 15:56:11 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
