<p>The Government's priority for all sessions of the UN Human Rights Council is to
ensure that it holds those responsible for human rights violations and abuses to account,
effectively addresses global threats to human rights, and strengthens protections
for the future. At the 40th session, specific priorities will include the human rights
situation in Syria, Sri Lanka, Burma, Iran, Democratic People's Republic of Korea,
Libya and South Sudan, and thematic priorities of media freedom, human rights defenders,
and freedom of religion or belief. The UK will continue to use statements to the Council
to hold countries that violate human rights to account.</p>
