answer text We condemn the attacks on 9 October in northern Rakhine and the killing of nine Burmese Border Guard policemen. Since then, we have become increasingly concerned by emerging reports of human rights violations committed by security forces. The British Ambassador to Burma travelled to Northern Rakhine on 2 November and along with our US and EU partners have pressed the Burmese Government for a full and transparent investigation. I made these concerns clear to the Burmese Government during my visit there last week (9-12 November) when I met the Minister of Defence, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Minister of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement. I reiterated the UK Government's call for restraint and the restoration of humanitarian and other access. I also met Rohingya representatives in Rangoon. We welcome Aung San Suu Kyi's commitment to a fair and legally compliant investigation and urge the security forces to abide by international norms and commitments. We will continue to monitor developments closely.

answer text <p>We have not raised this specific issue with the Israeli authorities. The UK Government continues to argue for a just outcome for all the people affected by illegal settlement construction. The UK’s position on settlements is clear: they are illegal under international law, present an obstacle to peace and take us further away from a two state solution. We regularly raise our concerns on this issue and strongly urge the government of Israel to reverse its systematic policy of settlement expansion.</p> more like this

answer text ​In June 2016 the Human Rights Council published a report detailing the horrific extent of trafficking of Yezidi women within Iraq and Syria. We do not have any evidence to suggest that Yezidi women are being trafficked outside of Iraq and Syria. We continue to work closely with our Global Coalition partners to defeat Daesh, including those in the region. more like this

answer text <p>The UK Government supports the Israeli Government's calls for the repatriation of the bodies of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin and Staff Sergeant Oron Shaul and the release of Avraham Mengistu and another Israeli civilian held in Gaza. However, due to our no contact policy we have no plans to raise these issues with Hamas. Officials from the British Embassy in Tel Aviv have raised the return of Palestinian bodies with the Israeli authorities.​</p> more like this
