answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2024 answer text <p>The UK condemns any actions that fuels the brutal conflict in Sudan. In March, the UN Security Council renewed the mandate of the UN Panel of Experts, and extended the Darfur arms embargo until 12 September 2024. There is also a longstanding bilateral UK arms embargo in place for the whole of Sudan. These regimes have been used to constrain the flow of weapons into the country and support efforts to stop those who pose a threat to stability in Darfur. We continue to place emphasis on the importance of neutrality and of supporting a ceasefire and civilian political transition. In addition, UK officials have engaged extensively with the UN Panel of Experts on their findings. The UK will engage closely with the US (as penholder) on the renewal of the Panel of Experts mandate which is due to expire in March.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 16/01/2024 16:23:31 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2023 answer text <p>There is a UN Arms Embargo and Sanctions Regime on Darfur, which we renewed in March 2023. There is also a longstanding bilateral UK arms embargo in place from the existing EU arms embargo on the whole of Sudan from 1994, operating under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act (2018). These regimes have been used to constrain the flow of weapons into the country and support efforts to stop those who pose a threat to stability in Darfur. The UN Arms Embargo and Sanctions Regime on Darfur will be reviewed by September 2024.</p><p>In response to the ongoing conflict and deteriorating humanitarian situation in Sudan, on 12 July, the Minister for Development and Africa announced a package of six sanctions under the UK's Sudan (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 and a further five as part of a wider package against Wagner activities in Africa. We do not speculate on future sanctions designations as to do so could reduce their effectiveness.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 16/10/2023 16:30:37 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
