tabling member printed	The Earl of Sandwich
uin	HL284
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2015 answer text We regularly engage with both parties to the conflict to press them to end the conflict and secure peace. Most recently the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my hon. Friend the Member for Rochford and Southend East (James Duddridge), wrote to the South Sudanese Foreign Minister on 8 June calling on the Government of South Sudan to end the fighting and re-engage in peace talks. The failure of the parties to reach agreement in previous peace talks emphasises the need for consistent and united international pressure. We are in discussions with our partners on how the recently created UN sanctions mechanism can be best be used to force the parties to return to negotiations. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/06/2015 16:40:56 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
