star this property answer text <p>The UK recognises Turkey's legitimate security interests in Syria but also the need to protect civilian lives and infrastructure, and to avoid destabilising activity. Security and stability in the region are essential to prevent worsening of the already serious humanitarian situation in northern Syria and enable the Global Coalition to continue the fight against Daesh. We continue to monitor the situation, but the UK is not in a position to provide a figure on the number of Turkish airstrikes in Northeast Syria over the last 12 months.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Russia has a long-standing record of domestic repression, including violations of freedom of religion or belief (FoRB). This repression has only increased since Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine, as the Russian authorities seek to quash opposition. In Ukraine, Russia has persecuted Crimean Tatars, Jehovah's Witnesses, and clergy belonging to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and Protestant churches in Russian-controlled areas since 2014. Russia has extended this policy to newly seized areas in the course of its invasion, resulting in further FoRB violations. We are also concerned about the impact of destruction of religious property on FoRB, with over 100 religious sites damaged or destroyed since February 2022.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>This is an annual UN General Assembly resolution that the UK traditionally supports because it is consistent with our longstanding concerns over the impact of the Israeli occupation on the human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. However, the UK abstained on the resolution this year because of the inclusion of a referral to the international Court of Justice (ICJ). We support the ICJ, but we do not believe that a referral to the ICJ is helpful to bringing the parties back to dialogue. It is also our longstanding position that it is inappropriate, without the consent of both parties, to ask the Court to give an advisory opinion in what is essentially a bilateral dispute.</p> more like this
