most recently the UK called on the Government of Mali to denounce and tackle human
rights abuses, including all forms of violence against women, girls and members of
other vulnerable groups.</p><p>We also press partners on the importance of compliance
with human rights and international humanitarian law in security operations and provide
funding for the establishment of a compliance framework for the G5 Sahel Joint Force.</p><p>To
help improve protection of civilians in the Sahel in the context of growing instability,
the UK is also providing funding to the International Committee of the Red Cross to
ensure humanitarian protection and assistance for victims of armed conflict, and to
promote respect for international humanitarian law in the region</p><p> </p><p> </p>
