We welcome the 12 September Peace Agreement and have consistently supported peacebuilding though diplomatic engagement by our missions in Juba and the region, and by the UK Special Representative for Sudan and South Sudan. We have advocated the inclusion of civil society groups (including faith groups, women, and refugees) in the peace talks, and continue to encourage this in the implementation of the peace agreement. We are pressing all sides to show genuine commitment to implement the Peace Agreement in full, and working with the international community to ensure there are consequences for those who work against peace, through the enforcement of UN sanctions and the arms embargo.<\/p>
To complement this the UK funds a number of activities to support peacebuilding such as work with the South Sudan Council of Churches National Action Plan for Peace, which supports peacebuilding, reconciliation, and mediation efforts at the local level, and between national level leaders. It also includes establishing a "Peacebuilding Opportunities Fund" to help South Sudanese at local levels to resolve and reduce conflict, and a "Conflict Early Warning and Early Response System" to help communities identify and resolve local issues before they escalate into conflict.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4107", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Worcestershire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Harriett Baldwin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-12-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-12-03T16:42:13.783Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-11-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "South Sudan: Peace Negotiations"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what diplomatic steps his Department is taking to support (a) local and (b) national peacebuilding work in South Sudan; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/163", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Stephen Timms"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Ham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stephen Timms"} ], "uin" : "196663"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1016293", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1016293/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The UK continues to fully support Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity. Crimea and the Donbas are part of Ukraine \u2013 what Russia has done and continues to do there breaches its obligations under international law.<\/p>
Together with partners, we continue to call on Russia to abide by its international commitments and withdraw its forces from all of Ukraine, including the Donbas and Crimea. We strongly condemn recent Russian aggression against Ukrainian vessels near the Kerch Strait. This is yet further evidence of Russia's continued violation of Ukrainian sovereignty following the illegal annexation of Crimea and construction of the Kerch Bridge.<\/p>
The Foreign Secretary issued a statement on 26 November, and spoke with the Ukrainian Foreign Minister on 29 November to reiterate that the UK stands with Ukraine against Russian aggression. The UK also spoke in support of the independence and sovereignty of Ukraine at emergency sessions in the UN Security Council, NATO, EU and OSCE.<\/p>
