answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>​North Korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on 4 July is a clear violation of numerous Security Council resolutions. It is yet another reminder of the grave danger that North Korea poses. As a consequence on 5 July, the North Korean Ambassador was summoned to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The UN Security Council met to condemn the test. We will work with partners on further measures to address the threat to international peace and security posed by North Korea's destabilising and provocative conduct.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 18/07/2017 17:00:02 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>We are deeply concerned about the human rights abuses in South Sudan, especially in the area of sexual violence. The 2015 Peace Agreement mandated the creation of a Hybrid Court in South Sudan for the most serious of crimes. We understand that the African Union has been working on a proposal for such a court and now needs to discuss this with the Government of South Sudan. We urge all parties to accelerate the establishment of the Court. We have jointly led a resolution at the Human Rights Council in Geneva which extended the mandate of the South Sudan Human Rights Commission to gather evidence of crimes for eventual use in a court of law.</p><p>We continue to urge all sides to show restraint, bring an end to the violence in South Sudan, and return to an inclusive and peaceful political process.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 18/07/2017 08:38:36 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
