answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2019 answer text <p>We are deeply concerned by the human rights violations and abuses reported by the UN in August 2018. It is vital that all parties to the conflict make every effort to promote and protect human rights. Yemen remains a human rights priority country for the UK. In the 2018 Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Human Rights and Democracy Report, we highlighted our concerns over women’s rights including girls’ education, the recruitment of child soldiers, arbitrary detention, and attacks on freedom of religion or belief and on freedom of speech and association. We have raised the FCO's report directly with the Human Rights Minister for the Government of Yemen, voicing our concerns. We will continue to work with all parties and international partners, including the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, to find a political solution to the conflict, in order to create the conditions to improve and protect human rights in Yemen.​</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/07/2019 12:53:32 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2018 answer text <p>The British Government believes that it is important to give the Group of Eminent Experts more time to fully examine the conflict and to ensure that their conclusions accurately reflect the conduct of all parties in future reporting. We have raised its findings with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. It is clear that many incidents and alleged violations committed by all parties have not yet been fully documented, particularly those committed by Houthis. For these reasons, in September 2018 we supported the renewal of the existing mandate of the Group of Eminent Experts for a further year.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 09/11/2018 13:29:43 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
