answer text <p>The British Government is engaging closely with the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), countries in the region, and the parties to the conflict to give peace the best chance of success. We are supporting IGAD's efforts to revitalise the 2015 peace agreement through its High Level Revitalisation Forum.</p><p>We are urging IGAD to take action against those who have violated the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, signed in December by all parties. The UK also continues to explore all possible avenues that we can take in international forums such as the UN and the EU to increase pressure on spoilers of peace.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK is deeply concerned by the findings of the recent UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights report. The Responsibility to Protect was agreed by all UN member states; it imposes an obligation on all states to protect their populations, and for the international community to assist. Due to the severity of the situation in South Sudan we are taking action on multiple levels. We are raising our serious concerns directly with the government, encouraging the African Union to establish the Hybrid Court for South Sudan, and pressing the UN Security Council to agree an arms embargo. At the UN Human Rights Council we are pressing for a UN Special Rapporteur to be agreed.</p> more like this
