We take alleged violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) very seriously. The UK-sponsored UN Security Council Presidential Statement of 15 March 2018 called upon all parties to the confict in Yemen to distinguish between civilians and combatants, and take all feasible precautions to minimise harm to civilians.<\/p>

When allegations of IHL breaches have been made against Saudi Arabia, it is important that the Saudis, in the first instance, conduct conclusive investigations. The Saudi-led Coalition Joint Incidents Assessment Team has published 55 reports into particular incidents of concern, with the most recent published on 5 March 2018.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1201", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alistair Burt"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Alistair Burt"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-04-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-04-03T12:29:32.41Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-03-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Yemen: Military Intervention"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps is his Department taking to ensure that Saudi Arabia are held accountable by the United Nations for civilian casualties as a result of that country's airstrikes between December 2017 and January 2018.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "133843"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/869339", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/869339/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has in the past received Written Parliamentary Questions, on behalf of their constituents, and correspondence directly from members of the public about British businesses operating in, and trading with, illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We routinely update our guidance to British businesses on the Overseas Business Risk website. We advise British businesses to bear in mind the British Government's view on the illegality of settlements under international law when considering their investments and activities in the region.

\u200bWe consider that the level of control that Israel retains over Gaza amounts to occupation under international law and hence that Israel\u2019s conduct is governed by the provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, to which Israel is a state party.

The percentages given in response to PQ 132217 for owned, leased and loaned properties were calculated by building numbers.<\/p>
