answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2016 answer text <p>The British Embassy in Tel Aviv raises concerns with the Israeli Government on the issue of demolitions. Demolitions of Palestinian villages not only inflict unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians, but are harmful to the peace process, and in all by the most exceptional of cases, are contrary to International Humanitarian Law. In regards to demolitions of Bedouin villages in green-line Israel such as Umm al-Hiran, a solution must respect the equality of all Israel’s citizens, and be consistent with Israel’s commitments under international law.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 25/04/2016 16:05:20 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

uin	19308
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2015 answer text <p>The UK has led efforts to create and enforce an international sanctions regime to cut off support, including financial, for Daesh and other terrorist groups, underpinned by UN Security Council Resolutions. UN Security Council Resolution 1267 imposes sanctions on individual and groups associated with Al-Qaida and its affiliates including Daesh. In August 2014, under the UK’s Presidency, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2170 to restrict Daesh’s financial, trade and recruitment networks, as well as sanctioning individuals. In February 2015, we co-sponsored UN Security Council Resolution 2199, which tightens sanctions on Daesh, and requires all states to prevent the transfer of economic resources to Daesh, including infrastructure. The UK has also worked with other member states to secure EU sanctions listings to target individuals supplying Daesh oil to the Assad regime.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 14/12/2015 17:00:50 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
