The UK supports the comprehensive ceasefire brokered by the UN in October 2020, and welcomes the recent commitment shown by Libyans to engage constructively in the UN-led political process.

All export licence applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria (the \u2018Consolidated Criteria\u2019).<\/p>
<\/p>
In reaching a decision, the Department for International Trade (DIT) receives advice from a number of Departments including the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). Together, we draw on all available information, including reports from Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) and our diplomatic missions. The Consolidated Criteria provides a thorough risk assessment framework and requires us to think hard about the impact of exporting any items.<\/p>
<\/p>
A licence will not be issued if to do so would be inconsistent with the Consolidated Criteria, including where there is a clear risk that the proposed export might be used for internal repression.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are able to review licences \u2013 and suspend or revoke as necessary \u2013 when circumstances require, in line with the Consolidated Criteria.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have no plans to cease the issue of open licences.<\/p>

The UK is extremely concerned about increased levels of food insecurity and risk of famine in Yemen with 7 million people, including 2 million children, requiring treatment for acute malnutrition. We are playing a leading role in combating hunger in Yemen by committing £214 million this financial year (2020/21), £200m of which has already been disbursed.<\/p>
Our support will provide over 600,000 medical consultations, train 1,500 healthcare workers to work safely in a COVID-19 environment and enable nearly 600 health centres to continue providing existing health services. This financial year (2020/21), UK aid to UNICEF has already helped to screen 450,000 children for malnutrition and enrolled over 25,000 children on Severe and Acute Malnutrition treatment programmes.<\/p>
The UK will continue to urge the international community to step up, including by urgently disbursing humanitarian funding.

Many of the wide-ranging COVID-19 measures the Government has put in place have been made available to migrants with no recourse to public funds (NRPF).<\/p>
The Coronavirus Job\u202fRetention Scheme and the Self-employed Income Support Scheme, which have been extended\u202finto\u202fSpring 2021, are not classed as public funds so can be accessed by those with NRPF.\u202f Statutory sick pay and some other contribution-based benefits, such as contributory employment support allowance, are also not classed as public funds and are available to all who are eligible and unable to work during this difficult time, including those with NRPF status.<\/p>
The Test and Trace Support Payment Scheme in England provides a £500 payment to people on low incomes who cannot work from home and have been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace.\u202f Support is also available for those who are not in receipt of one of the seven means-tested benefits that are part of the eligibility criteria for the main scheme, but who will still face hardship if they have to self-isolate, in the form of a £500 discretionary payment, paid by local\u202fauthorities.\u202f This payment is available to those with NRPF, provided they meet the criteria set by the local authority for discretionary payments in their area.\u202f Further information on this scheme can be found at:<\/p>
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/test-and-trace-support-payment-scheme-claiming-financial-support/claiming-financial-support-under-the-test-and-trace-support-payment-scheme.<\/p>
Local authorities may also provide basic safety net support, regardless of immigration status, if it is established that there is a genuine care need that does not arise solely from destitution, for example, where there are community care needs, migrants with serious health problems or family cases where the wellbeing of a child is in question. \u202fThe Government has provided an unprecedented package of support to councils to help their communities through this pandemic.<\/p>
We have also temporarily extended the eligibility criteria for free school meals in England to support some families with NRPF, in recognition of the difficulties they may be facing during these unique times.<\/p>
Migrants with leave under the Family and Human Rights routes can apply to have their NRPF condition lifted to enable them to access public funds.\u202f They do this by making a \u2018change of conditions\u2019 application if they are destitute or at risk of destitution, if the welfare of their child is at risk due to their low income, or where there are other exceptional financial circumstances.<\/p>

This path forward requires compromise and cooperation from all sides. All BiH citizens must have the right to participate equally in their country's future.
