answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>​The Security Council most recently held consultations on UNAMID and the situation in Darfur on 15 November. During this session, we urged fellow Council members to closely monitor the impact of UNAMID's reconfiguration, and carefully consider whether the situation on the ground remains conducive to further changes. We are in regular contact with UNAMID and are monitoring the reconfiguration of the Mission closely.</p><p>The security situation has evolved in much of Darfur, and therefore we supported the Security Council's decision in June to reconfigure the UN/African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID). However we recognise that the security situation remains fragile. Therefore, our priority is to ensure that changes made to the Mission are done sensibly, with appropriate review points, and to make sure that a smaller, more flexible UNAMID is still able to fulfil the core components of its mandate.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 30/11/2017 16:35:12 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
