uin	HL7619
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2018 answer text <p>The treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention remains a human rights priority for the UK. We will continue to call upon Israel to improve its practices in line with international law and obligations. We have offered to help the Israeli authorities through expert-to-expert talks with British officials. That offer still stands. While we recognise that Israel has made some improvements, it needs to do much more to safeguard vulnerable people in its care. Most recently I raised the issue of children in detention with Israeli Justice Minister Shaked during my trip to the region in April 2018.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/05/2018 13:48:03 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
