We would consider each case on its individual merits, looking at the case-specific evidence, the law and possibly make enquiries to determine whether they have any entitlement to citizenship.
However, the starting point is that the Constitution of Republic of Korea (South Korea) stipulates that all North Koreans are citizens of the Republic of Korea<\/p>
Article 1 of the Republic of Korea Nationality Act provides that a person, whose father or mother was a citizen of South Korea at the time of the person\u2019s birth, is a citizen of South Korea.<\/p>"}

We are deeply concerned by the verdict in the case against Pastor Hassan Abduelraheen Kodi, Petr Jasek, and Abdulmonem Abdumawlla. We are aware that the defendants have the right to appeal. Officials from our Embassy in Khartoum were present in court for the verdict, and together with our international partners, coordinated attendance at all hearings since the defendants' initial arrest. We have regularly raised our concerns over this case directly with the government of Sudan, most recently on 22 January; and we will continue to do so as part of our ongoing human rights dialogue.<\/p>
We call on all countries to comply with their international human rights obligations. We support the work of the UN Independent Expert on the situation of human rights in Sudan to assess efforts undertaken by the government to respond to recommendations made in this context.<\/p>"}

We regret the decision of any State Party to leave the International Criminal Court (ICC). We encourage any country considering leaving the ICC to discuss its concerns with fellow States Parties or directly with the Court.<\/p>
We are aware of the draft decision at the AU Summit 22-31 January to adopt an "ICC withdrawal strategy". Our understanding is that the strategy does not actually call for mass withdrawal. It is a matter for each African state, and several African states reaffirmed their support for the Court.<\/p>
The resolution is still in draft and we will be able to comment further once that becomes final.<\/p>"}

The Government has no plans to review the practices of estate agents. The conduct of estate agents is governed by legislation \u2013 Estate Agents Act 1979 - which sets out the duties estate agents owe to clients and third parties. Under the Act all estate agents in the UK engaged in residential estate agency work are required to join an approved redress scheme so that consumers can seek free and independent redress from an approved body.<\/p>
Estate agents who are members of The Property Ombudsmen (TPO) are required to comply with the TPO\u2019s Code. The Code sets out requirements in relation to pre-contract deposits. Breach of the Code could result in removal from the redress scheme \u2013 this will effectively prevent them from operating as an estate agent.<\/p>
Estate Agents are also required to comply with other consumer legislation to prevent or prohibit unfair practices in their dealings with consumers.<\/p>"}

The UK plays a leading role in the NATO Alliance, which is one of the cornerstones of UK defence. NATO's strength lies in the clear message Article 5 sends that an attack against one Ally shall be considered an attack against all. The UK and all NATO Allies are committed to upholding Article 5 and any suggestion that we would not help protect our Allies weakens the Alliance.<\/p>
All Allies agreed to meet the Defence Investment Pledge at the Wales Summit in 2014, and since then defence investment across the Alliance has increased in real terms. The UK regularly encourages all Allies to meet the commitment made to spend 2 per cent of GDP on defence by 2024, because defence investment is how the Alliance will continue to have the military capabilities needed to tackle the full range of threats that it faces.<\/p>

The United Kingdom meets the Defence Investment Pledge from the NATO summit in Wales, and has committed to do so for the rest of this decade. NATO's ability to deter potential adversaries requires modern capabilities, and these need appropriate funding. Government ministers regularly encourage Allies to fulfil the commitments they have made to spend two per cent of GDP on defence by 2024 (and 20 per cent of that on equipment). Better burden-sharing is an important issue for the new US Administration, and we expect this to be a focus of discussion at the NATO Defence Ministerial Meeting later this month.<\/p>
