Written Answers
Ethiopia: Armed Conflict
Asked by: Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench - Life peer)
Monday 19th January 2026

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park on 17 November 2022 (HL3491), whether any further consideration has been given to publishing the Joint Analysis of Conflict and Stability on Ethiopia from 2022 either in part or in whole.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development)

I refer the Noble Lord to the response he was given to Question HL9366 on 14 July 2025.

Further to that response, on 12 December, the UK issued a formal statement alongside international partners calling for any tensions or disputes to be resolved peacefully and diplomatically. We maintain close coordination with international partners to ensure alignment on human rights actions, including at the Human Rights Council. Recommendations from the Joint Analysis of Conflict and Stability are being translated into concrete actions measures or actions to strengthen accountability, reinforce mechanisms for monitoring and investigation, and improve documentation of international human rights and humanitarian law violations. We continue to help victims organise, prepare and be ready to participate fully when the transitional justice process resumes. And we continue actively supporting multilateral efforts to promote peace and stability in Ethiopia, engaging with the African Union and backing implementation of the African Union-led Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, including funding monitoring and compliance mechanisms.
