answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2016 answer text <p>We follow the situation in Syria closely, including the situation for minorities. We recognise the situation is desperate for many communities across the country, including Christians. A number of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the independent UN Commission of Inquiry have highlighted the dangers facing Christians and other minorities at the hands of Daesh.</p><p>We condemn in the strongest terms the atrocities committed by Daesh against all civilians, including Christians and other minorities, as well as the majority Muslim population in Syria. Ultimately, the best way of safeguarding minority rights in the region is by defeating Daesh and establishing peace and stability in the region. The UK has been at the forefront of these efforts, and has a comprehensive strategy to deal with Daesh.</p><p>The UK believes that a transition away from the Asad regime is needed to bring about a sustainable peace in Syria which allows the protection of all Syrians, including minorities.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 03/11/2016 12:41:37 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2016 answer text <p>We continue to emphasise to the Libyan authorities the importance we attach to this issue, and how we want to see a solution. The Foreign Secretary highlighted the importance of resolving legacy issues to Prime Minister Serraj during the Libya Ministerial in London on 31 October. I raised the issue of compensation with Deputy Prime Minister Ahmed Maiteeq on 31 October in London and Prime Minister Fayez Serraj when we met in Tunis in November last year. Legacy issues were also raised with Foreign Minister Siala in the margins of the former Foreign Secretary's visit to Tripoli in April. I have also written to the Libyans seeking an update on legacy issues. However, given that the Minister of Justice post is currently vacant and the present challenges facing Libya, I do not anticipate a swift response.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 03/11/2016 12:36:03 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
