The UK reaches decisions on votes on the basis of candidates\u2019 human rights records, and their cooperation with Human Rights Council (HRC) mechanisms. The UK also considers candidates\u2019 engagement and voting record at HRC, broader UK Government priorities, standing obligations, and whether a reciprocal deal can be made.

The Government is clear that settlement expansion and demolition activity is illegal and harmful to the peace process. When the Prime Minister met Prime Minister Netanyahu on 2 November she reiterated the UK\u2019s continued opposition to settlement activity and our firm commitment to a two-state solution as the best way to bring about stability and peace. Former Minister for the Middle East, Tobias Ellwood MP, issued a statement on 7 February condemning the passing of the Land Regularisation Law by the Knesset. The law is currently being challenged in Israel\u2019s High Court of Justice. We understand frustration at the lack of progress in the Middle East Peace Process. We believe that peace will only come through negotiations between the parties, and we are committed to supporting progress towards a two-state solution.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-20T16:58:55.113Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-11-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Israel: Palestinians"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the future for Palestinians following the report by the General Assembly Fourth Committee that a sharp increase in settlement construction activity fuelled by the passing of a regularisation law, combined with the demolition of Palestinian homes, has led to an atmosphere of despair and hopelessness among Palestinians in the occupied territories.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/200", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Tonge"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Tonge"} ], "uin" : "HL3162"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/788500", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/788500/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
