We regularly raise these concerns with the Iraqi governmental and judicial authorities \u2013 reiterating the importance of respect for international standards of due process and fair trial. We also raise our opposition to the death penalty in all circumstances as a matter of principle. Separately, we continue to support the UN Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Daesh (UNITAD) in Iraq. UNITAD is expanding its engagement with witnesses, survivors and impacted communities \u2013 implementing advanced witness protection and support so that even the most vulnerable members of society in Iraq feel able to come forward with their accounts.<\/p>

The Government provides safe and legal routes to bring families together through its family reunion policy. This allows a partner and children under 18 of those granted protection in the UK to join them here, if they formed part of the family unit before the sponsor fled their country.<\/p>
Our current policy does not allow child refugees to sponsor their parents. The Government\u2019s view is that if children could sponsor parents, it would risk creating incentives for more children to be encouraged, or even forced, to leave their family and risk hazardous journeys to the UK. This plays into the hands of criminal gangs who exploit vulnerable people and goes against our safeguarding responsibilities.<\/p>
Our policy is not designed to keep child refugees apart from their parents, but in considering any policy we must think carefully about the wider impact to avoid putting more people unnecessarily into harm\u2019s way.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4311", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Williams of Trafford"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2020-01-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2020-01-27T17:10:33.163Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2020-01-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Refugees: Children"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by Amnesty International, The Refugee Council and Save the Children Without my Family, published on 10 January, which calls for changes to Government policy on family separation of child refugees in the UK.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/738", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Alton of Liverpool"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Alton of Liverpool"} ], "uin" : "HL279"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1170133", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1170133/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
NHS Resolution handles clinical negligence claims on behalf of National Health Service organisations and independent sector providers of NHS care in England.<\/p>

We have thoroughly overhauled the infrastructure underpinning healthcare quality and safety in the last decade to minimise harm. The NHS Patient Safety Strategy: Safer culture, safer systems, safer patients<\/em>, published in July 2019, and Safer Maternity Care: The NHS Maternity Safety Strategy \u2013 Progress and Next Steps<\/em>, published in November 2017, set out the comprehensive approach to continuously improve safety. Copies of the strategies are attached.<\/p> The NHS Resolution five-year strategy Delivering fair resolution and learning from harm<\/em>, published in 2017, describes how the organisation is contributing to improved safety and tackling clinical negligence costs. NHS Resolution is committed to learning from claims and is working directly with trusts to share learning and best practice across the NHS to drive safety improvement. This will help to minimise the potential of clinical errors that could lead to harm and possible future claims. A copy of the strategy is attached.<\/p> The Department is also working intensively with the Ministry of Justice, other Government Departments and NHS Resolution to tackle the continued year-on-year-rises in clinical negligence costs which are eating progressively into resources available for front-line care. While there are no simple solutions and the work is still ongoing, good progress has been made in developing our understanding of all the drivers of cost and exploring ways forward.<\/p>"}

This followed the vetoes by Russia and China of a renewal of Resolution 2249. We abstained because, while we support continued cross-border assistance through two border crossings from Turkey to north-west Syria, we were appalled that the other two existing crossings were not included in the new resolution at Russian insistence despite continued humanitarian need. This includes Yaroubiya crossing, between Iraq and north-east Syria, which last year was used to deliver medical aid to more than 1.4 million people. Ending the UN mandate for aid to enter via this route will therefore have a severe impact on north-east Syria. The UK is working closely with partners to consider how best to continue providing for the urgent need of Syrian civilians in the area.<\/p>"}
