answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>​We welcome the UN Secretary-General's statement on 14 October for safe access for civilians in need in north-east Syria. Our assessment is that the ceasefire in north-east Syria continues to broadly hold, and we welcome the fact that Turkey has confirmed it has no plans for a further offensive. Implementation of the ceasefire is for the parties directly involved but we have made clear our expectation that all parties abide by the agreed ceasefire, which we wish to see become permanent, and by their obligations under international humanitarian law.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/11/2019 17:20:21 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
