The Government has supported the establishment of the Office of the Ministry of Interior\u2019s Ombudsman and the Prisoners\u2019 and Detainees\u2019 Rights Commission (PDRC) in Bahrain through the provision of UK training and expertise. In 2013, we funded Northern Ireland Cooperation Overseas\u2019 (NICO) work with the Office of the Police Ombudsman on several priority areas. This included sharing UK best practice on complaints procedures, investigation reports and the role of prison inspection. We have built on this work, and since early 2014 we have been supporting NICO to deliver a 15 month package of support to help build the capacity of the Ombudsman's Office, increase accountability and public confidence. We have also provided UK-based training to all PDRC members through Her Majesty\u2019s Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) including sharing best practice on inspection procedures.<\/p>

We have repeatedly condemned settlement announcements and will continue to call on the Israeli authorities to cease all settlement building and to remove illegal outposts, as required under international law. We continue to believe that negotiations toward a two-state solution are the best route to meeting Palestinian aspirations in reality and on the ground.
