answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2020 answer text <p>The UK is a global leader on sanctions, based on the smart, targeted use of sanctions, as part of wider political and diplomatic strategies. The UK will look to coordinate with international partners, like the US and Canada, who use sanctions to address human rights issues, to ensure there is no safe haven for torturers, killers, enslavers, and their enablers. As sanctions are most effective when applied in concert with partners, we look forward to continuing to coordinate with partners in the future.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 01/09/2020 14:03:35 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2020 answer text <p>Merging the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the Department for International Development (DFID) will bring together the best of what we do in development and diplomacy. As the world becomes ever more complex, we need single cross-government strategies implemented on the ground by the Ambassador or High Commissioner heading all of HMG's work in-country. There is already very close co-ordination between the DFID's provision of life-saving humanitarian aid and the FCO's work to enable humanitarian responses politically and support humanitarian processes, and we expect this to continue and improve in the new structure.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 15/07/2020 14:58:56 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

uin	69699
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2020 answer text <p>The UK remains at the forefront of global efforts to tackle conflict-related sexual violence through our Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI). The UK launched the draft Murad Code on documenting conflict-related sexual violence to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, on 19 June. Developed together with Nobel Peace Laureate and campaigner against sexual violence, Nadia Murad, this code of conduct will respect survivors' rights and ensure investigation of sexual violence crimes is safer, more ethical, and more effective. By adhering to the Code, governments, international organisations, civil society, and other actors will uphold international standards, which in turn will strengthen the collection of evidence in order to secure prospections.</p><p>The Murad Code is part of the UK's commitment to strengthening justice for all survivors of conflict-related sexual violence, also demonstrated by UK-funded efforts of TRIAL International to improve access to legal support for survivors in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the work of UNITAD in gathering evidence of Daesh crimes in Iraq.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 13/07/2020 15:18:20 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2020 answer text <p>COVID-19 has reinforced the urgency to tackle pervasive and endemic gender-based violence. The UN Security Council will be an important platform to demonstrate the UK's continued leadership on Violence against Women and Girls and Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict as part of our broader ambitions on gender equality. This includes the upcoming UN Security Council Open video-conference on Women, Peace and Security on 17 July, which will focus on conflict-related sexual violence.</p><p>The UK has led efforts to strengthen language on conflict-related sexual violence through UN Security Council Peacekeeping Mandates and Resolutions. In April 2019, we advocated and voted for UN Security Council Resolution 2467 on sexual violence in conflict. This specified the importance of a survivor-centric approach in response to conflict-related sexual violence, highlighted the need to support children born of sexual violence, promoted specific language on sexual violence in sanction regimes, and also referenced the Mukwege Foundation/Nadia Initiative Global Survivors Fund.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 30/06/2020 15:47:47 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2020 answer text <p>Unfortunately, in light of Covid-19, the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Rwanda 2020 has been postponed. The Prime Minister's Special Representative on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon looks forward to attending the next CHOGM when it takes place in Kigali.

The regulations will come into force once secondary legislation is laid in Parliament in the coming months.</p><p>The purpose of a global human rights sanctions regime will be to promote compliance with international human rights law and respect for human rights and in particular, to provide accountability for and deter serious violations or abuses of human rights. It would not be appropriate to speculate on who may be designated under the sanctions regime; to do so could reduce the impact of designations under the regime.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 17/06/2020 15:57:24 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

tabling member constituency	Totnes
tabling member printed	Anthony Mangnall
uin	46796
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2020 answer text <p>The UK strongly supports efforts to increase the proportion of female uniformed peacekeepers, as directed by the UN Department of Peace Operations' Uniformed Gender Parity Strategy. Through negotiations on mandates in the Security Council and in other fora, such as this year's Special Committee on UN Peacekeeping Operations, we ensure the UN works to increase the numbers of women peacekeepers in its missions. In the last financial year the UK provided £1m from the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund for the Elsie Initiative to help troop-contributing countries overcome practical barriers preventing further deployment of uniformed female peacekeepers to operations. UK officials also raise this regularly with the UN Secretariat. More broadly, the UK is a leader among UN Member States championing Women, Peace and Security issues in peacekeeping, and encourages all troop contributors to fulfil their commitments made under the UN Secretary-General's Action for Peacekeeping initiative.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 20/05/2020 15:18:39 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
