I [Minister Doughty] regularly raise third-country circumvention and the Common High Priority Items list with counterparts.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2024 answer text <p>The Amnesty International press release on 6 August has drawn attention to the conduct of actors across northern Ethiopia. Their reporting is consistent with UN investigations which found that all sides committed major human rights abuses, some of which might amount to crimes against humanity. The UK has consistently called for accountability for victims across Ethiopia and is supporting Ethiopia's transitional justice efforts, including by working with national human rights organisations to enhance evidence collection that could support criminal procedures.</p> answering member constituency Oxford East answering member printed Anneliese Dodds question first answered 08/11/2024 09:37:25 answering member 4657 label Biography information for Anneliese Dodds
