	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2023 answer text <p>Poor implementation of South Sudan's peace agreement is driving violence and a humanitarian crisis. On 8 May, I [Minister Mitchell] met with the South Sudanese Minister of Presidential Affairs and emphasised the need for immediate, tangible action on the peace process. The UK also raises concerns about lack of progress at the UN Security Council and Human Rights Council, and through Troika (UK, US, Norway) or Troika and EU statements. The UK funds peacebuilding programmes to address the root causes of subnational conflict in South Sudan and funds the placement of technical experts in both the ceasefire (Ceasefire &amp; Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring &amp; Verification Mechanism) and peace agreement implementation (Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission) monitoring mechanisms.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 22/05/2023 16:17:03 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
