Freedom of religion or belief in Sudan continues to be an area of deep concern to the British Government. Along with international partners, we regularly attend court cases on freedom of religion or belief and raise related cases with the Government of Sudan. Through our project work we also seek to support lawyers who take on cases addressing important human rights issues, such as freedom of religion. More broadly, we also continue highlight our concerns about the conflict in South Kordofan, most recently via a joint statement with our Troika partners on 27 May. We welcome the Government of Sudan\u2019s announcement of a cessation of hostilities on 17 June and urge all sides to respect this.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3474", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Anelay of St Johns"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-07-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-07-13T15:18:03.807Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Public Sector: Equality"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government, in the light of continued reports of the imprisonment of Christians, increased restrictions on refugee churches, closure and destruction of other churches, and the ongoing bombing campaign against the Nuba region which has a large Christian community, what steps they are taking to ensure that the right to freedom of religion or belief is respected in Sudan.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/738", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Alton of Liverpool"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Alton of Liverpool"} ], "uin" : "HL919"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/529926", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/529926/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
I remain concerned by reports of the persecution of religious and other minorities in Pakistan. We regularly raise our concerns about the protection of vulnerable groups, including women and girls, with the Pakistani Government at senior levels. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Rt. Hon Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), pressed Pakistan to guarantee the rights of all its citizens, including minority religious communities, during his visit in March. We will continue to urge Pakistan to honour in practice its human rights obligations and to uphold the rule of law.
Our concerns about minorities in Pakistan are documented in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Human Rights Reports.<\/p>"}

There is a substantial body of evidence that the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea (DPRK) supplies arms to customers worldwide. Its sale of arms and related material to countries already in the grip of conflict exploits and increases regional instability.

Although we are aware of reports of the burning to death of up to 19 Yezidi women in Mosul, we are not able to verify these reports. We are also aware of the UN\u2019s calculation that up to 3,500 women are being held by Daesh. However, it is difficult to accurately estimate the number of women who remain in Daesh captivity so we cannot confirm this figure.<\/p>
It is clear however, that Daesh has carried out appalling atrocities against Muslims, Christians, Yezidis and other communities in Iraq and Syria. Ultimately the only way to stop Daesh carrying out such abuses and to free those they hold captive is to liberate all of the people currently under their control.<\/p>
Genocide should be a matter for judicial authorities rather than a political decision, but it is clear there is a growing body of evidence that terrible crimes have been committed. We are working with our partners in the international community to do everything we can to support the gathering of evidence which could be used by courts to hold Daesh to account and bring justice to those who have suffered at the hands of Daesh. This is vital because ultimately this is a question for courts to decide.

The Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea's (DPRK) arbitrary use of violence against its citizens, as documented in the UN Commission of Inquiry report, underlines the brutality of the regime and its lack of respect for basic human rights. The Government has made clear its concerns about the appalling human rights situation in North Korea, directly with the regime and in international fora, including at the UN General Assembly and the Human Rights Council.<\/p>
The DPRK\u2019s flagrant violation of UN Security Council Resolutions and its continuing provocative behaviour is a clear threat to regional stability and international security. The UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2270 on 2 March 2016 in response to the DPRK\u2019s nuclear test of 6 January and satellite launch, using ballistic technology, of 7 February.
