We support Ukraine's efforts to promote the principles needed to underpin a just and lasting peace based on the UN Charter, including President Zelenskyy's 'ten-point peace formula'.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2023 answer text <p>We recognise the significance of the award of the Václav Havel Prize to Osman Kavala and the subsequent PACE debate. The award and the overwhelming vote in favour of the release of Mr Kavala, highlight that Osman Kavala remains in prison despite two separate rulings by the European Court of Human Rights calling for his immediate release, a call that the UK has consistently joined. We will continue to work with Council of Europe Member States including Turkey, to find a solution to the situation.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 24/10/2023 16:24:35 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2023 answer text <p>The UK values the work of the Parliamentary Assembly to the Council of Europe and our UK delegation in debating these important issues. Free and fair elections are the key to a functioning democracy, allowing citizens to choose how they are governed and by whom - democratic and open societies cannot flourish without them. The internal oppression carried out by the Russian Government fuels external aggression in Ukraine and elsewhere. We remain concerned about whether the 2018 Russian presidential election and the 2020 constitutional referendum were free and fair. The UK remains committed to holding Russia to account for its actions in Ukraine.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 24/10/2023 16:23:53 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2023 answer text <p>The debate rightly shined a spotlight on the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and the need for international action. The UK continues to support the people of Afghanistan and coordinate with European and other partners. Afghanistan remains one of FCDO's largest bilateral aid programmes this financial year at £100 million. Since April 2021, the UK has disbursed over £593 million in aid to Afghanistan. This includes £17 million to support humanitarian organisations in Afghanistan's neighbouring countries. This has assisted Afghan migrants and asylum seekers moving across borders, and refugee and host communities in those countries. We continue to monitor the situation.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 24/10/2023 16:22:21 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
