question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the expiration of the UN conventional arms embargo on Iran in October on human rights advocates in the country.
tabling member printed	Baroness Eaton
uin	HL4493
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2020 answer text <p>The UK remains committed to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), a reciprocal deal that lifts sanctions in exchange for tough nuclear limits. Iran has broken the nuclear limits in the JCPoA and we are working to bring Iran back into compliance through the deal's Dispute Resolution Mechanism.</p><p>UNSCR 2231, which underpins the JCPoA, includes a number of clauses designed to allow sanctions to expire on fixed dates: the UN conventional arms embargo is due to expire in October 2020. The EU arms embargo and UN ballistic missile restrictions will remain in place until 2023. We are consulting partners on the broader implications of arms embargo expiry for Iran as well as the region, and encourage all states to implement national export control best practice.</p><p>Separate to sanctions in place under the JCPoA, there is an EU Iran human rights sanctions regime. It consists of asset freezes and travel bans on certain individuals and entities involved in human rights violations; and trade restrictions on specified goods and technology which may be used to repress the civilian population of Iran, and on specified goods and technology which may be used for interception and monitoring services in Iran. These EU trade restrictions do not have an expiry date.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 27/05/2020 13:30:49 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the number of people in Idlib who belong to an armed group that has been proscribed (1) by the UK Government, and (2) under the UN Security Council Resolution 1267.
tabling member printed	Baroness Eaton
uin	HL4218
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2020 answer text <p>Given the complex and evolving situation on the ground, it is difficult to accurately assess the number of persons belonging to proscribed armed groups in Idlib, Syria. We estimate there may be around 19,000-25,000 persons belonging to proscribed armed groups in total, of which the majority (approximately 12,000-15,000) belong to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. We estimate Huras Al Din and the Turkistan Islamic Party each have around 3,500-5,000 members. There are also likely to be small numbers of individuals aligned to Daesh. The estimated total number of persons belonging to proscribed armed groups represents less than one percent of the approximately three million people living in Idlib.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/05/2020 10:48:13 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Baroness Eaton
uin	HL557
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2020 answer text <p>​We have long expressed our deep concerns about the destabilising activities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and IRGC Qods Force, including illicit economic activity, and support to militant and proscribed groups around the region. The IRGC as a whole remains subject to EU and UN sanctions; a large number of associated individuals and entities are also designated. We continue to review the list of proscribed groups, but do not routinely comment on consideration of specific organisations.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 29/01/2020 14:01:50 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the impact of the closure of the Rafah crossing by the government of Egypt on the reconstruction programme in Gaza.
tabling member printed	Baroness Eaton
uin	HL5234
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2015 answer text <p>The Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism is now working. Over 52,000 people have been able to buy materials to repair their homes. Part of the UK pledge at the Gaza Reconstruction Conference in October 2014 is support for the Mechanism and materials entering through Gaza/Israel crossings. We are, however, concerned about the closure of the Rafah Crossing and the impact that this has on urgent medical and other priority cases in Gaza. We have raised this with our contacts with the Egyptian government and asked the Egyptian authorities to show flexibility in opening the crossing.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 05/03/2015 15:07:29 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
