The Government provides counter-narcotics assistance to a range of international partners, including Pakistan. We do so to tackle the international drugs trade and minimise the threat it poses to the UK and its citizens. It is important to protect activities which form part of the UK's contribution to the international counter-narcotics effort and to respect the principle that international partners are able to operate in secrecy on matters of national security against organised crime. As such, it is our policy not to disclose details of financial assistance relating to our counter narcotics work, as to do so risks reducing its effectiveness and damaging international relations.<\/p>
The Government strongly opposes the use of the death penalty in all circumstances and we are consistent in our communication on this issue.

This enables a comprehensive and ongoing assessment of the human rights risks attached to international activity.

Refugee status is conferred following a grant of asylum. An asylum seeker only becomes a refugee once asylum has been granted. Not all asylum seekers are deemed to be refugees and not all refugees claim asylum. The Home Office publishes annual and quarterly statistics on grants of asylum, humanitarian protection, discretionary leave and other grants at initial decision, to main applicants and dependants. The information, broken down by year of application and nationality is available on Table as_02 of the latest release \u2018Immigration Statistics, January \u2013 March 2015\u2019.<\/p>
