We are engaged with the UNHCR on its framework review which will address these issues more closely. However, only a political solution under UN Security Council Resolution 2254 can ensure conditions safe for returns. UN Envoy Geir Pedersen has our full support in this effort.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 28/04/2022 09:38:44 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2022 answer text <p>Syrians have a right to return to their homes voluntarily, in safety and dignity, in line with International Refugee, Human rights and Humanitarian Law. Any Syrian refugees volunteering to return to Syria must be doing so of their own free will as verified by UNHCR. Involuntary or forced returns (refoulement) are a violation of International Refugee, Human rights and Humanitarian Law.</p><p>The UK recognises the generosity of Turkey, Lebanon and other neighbouring counties in hosting millions of refugees from Syria and elsewhere. Our strong bilateral relationship and dialogue with Turkey on humanitarian and development issues ensure we remain engaged on the issue of refugees.</p><p>Likewise with Lebanon and other neighbouring countries where we have made it clear it is important they abide by the international commitments they have made on refugees and continue to uphold the principles of non-refoulement to enable refugee registration by UNHCR to resume.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 28/04/2022 09:36:34 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling
