<p>The UK is very concerned by the human rights situation in Sudan, which is identified
as a priority country in the UK's Annual Human Rights Report. Our Embassy in Khartoum
monitors the human rights situation in Sudan closely, and frequently raises our concerns
in meetings with the authorities. It also administers programmes and workshops to
support greater progress on Sudan's human rights obligations. In March 2018, our Embassy
in Khartoum funded a workshop for senior representatives of the Sudanese Government,
which focused on the steps needed for Sudan's ratification of the UN Convention against
torture, which it signed in 1986. We will continue to provide support on this issue
and to ensure Sudan meets its human rights obligations.</p><p>There must be accountability
for the crimes committed by members of the former regime. We will continue to work
with Troika (UK, US and Norway), EU, UN and regional allies to explore how best we
can support accountability, including at the UN Human Rights Council in September.</p>
