uin	834
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2015 answer text <p>The Government attaches great importance to the support of human rights around the world, in Mexico, as elsewhere. We share longstanding and serious concerns with the international community about reports of human rights violations and impunity in Mexico. We encourage efforts by the Mexican government to strengthen processes and mechanisms to prevent human rights violations and ensure that those responsible for violations are brought to justice. Indeed, the Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), discussed human rights with President Peña Nieto during his State Visit to the UK in March this year. Through a programme of visits, meetings and discussions with representatives of the Mexican government, human rights defenders, non-governmental organisations and international partners, we hope these efforts will build respect for fundamental human rights and strengthen rule of law in Mexico. We continue to support human rights organisations on the ground and share UK experience of tackling the challenges Mexico faces. We are currently focusing on the treatment of torture and enforced disappearance by judges, and are in the process of selecting projects to address security and justice concerns which will complement this work.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 09/06/2015 14:29:36 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
