answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2023 answer text <p>We have noted the report issued by Genocide Watch on the risk of genocide occurring in Sudan. We have consistently denounced all human rights violations that have taken place since the escalation in incidents since 15 April; the continuing violence and killing of civilians must end. We will continue to support the work of the ICC Prosecutor in his important work to investigate crimes in Darfur, and regularly raise our concerns over human rights violations in international fora such as the UN Human Rights Council. The UK works closely with a wide range of non-governmental organisations and UN partners on understanding conflict, atrocity prevention, early warning and early response systems. We regularly update our conflict analysis to help the UK support conflict resolution mechanisms and create a supportive regional environment.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 01/06/2023 11:49:43 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
