answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2017 answer text <p>The decision on whether a country is included in the Annual Human Rights Report as a Priority Country is based on the human rights situation in the country, assessed against objective international criteria; the trajectory of change; and the extent of the UK's work on human rights in that country. The FCO designated 30 Human Rights Priority Countries in 2016. As we set out then, our expectation is to continue to focus on those countries for the duration of this Parliament in order to ensure that the Governments human rights work has the strategic direction and consistency. We of course continue to monitor the human rights situation in Turkey.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 17/03/2017 14:46:40 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2017 answer text <p>The UK is committed to supporting children with mental health needs in conflict situations. We use assessments from humanitarian agencies, including the United Nations, to determine how we can best support these vulnerable children.</p><p>The assessments reinforce that psychological trauma amongst children is acute in some of the world’s worst conflicts. In Syria, the annual UN Humanitarian Needs Overview states that 1 in 4 children are at risk of developing mental health disorders. In Iraq, UNICEF judges emotional distress as a critical issue for children fleeing or currently living under Daesh. Afghan children are at risk of psychological distress, particularly in urban areas. On Eritrea, the impact of conflict on children, particularly their mental health needs, continues to be assessed, with UNHCR conducting a thorough assessment of each Eritrean child arriving into Ethiopia.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 14/03/2017 17:19:38 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
