tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL328
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>The UK was instrumental in securing a tightening of the EU Arms Embargo, prohibiting the export of dual-use goods, and restrictions on communications equipment and military cooperation. As a result, the UK revoked all extant licences which were not consistent with the new measures. The UK has also secured targeted EU sanctions on fourteen individuals responsible for human rights violations in Myanmar.</p><p>We do not support the introduction of financial or trade sanctions at this stage. Targeting companies or sectors, and disrupting Myanmar’s financial system, could harm economic development across Myanmar. Any sanctions on economic entities or sectors of the economy must be sufficiently targeted at the military so that they do not harm ordinary working people in Myanmar, who are among some of the poorest in the region.</p><p>​</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 29/10/2019 12:07:10 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Algeria about the six Ahmadis sentenced on 28 June to up to four years in prison for charges relating to the exercise of their religion; and when they last discussed with the government of Algeria its obligations under Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which requires states to guarantee freedom of religion and belief.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL328
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>On the issue of the 28 June sentencing, we have raised this with the Algerian Embassy in London. We noted that the constitution protects freedom of conscience and religion but that domestic law might limit these rights. During Algeria's last Universal Periodic Review (UPR) in May, we raised the question of whether domestic law was to be changed to allow full freedom of religion as per the constitution. Algeria will consider the recommendations of the UPR and reply by September.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 17/07/2017 16:51:10 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie
