Written Question
Eritrea: Human Rights
Tuesday 16th December 2025

Asked by: Andrew Cooper (Labour - Mid Cheshire)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she plans to bring forward sanctions relating to human rights violations and abuses in Eritrea.

Answered by Chris Elmore - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The UK Government consistently considers the full range of policy tools at our disposal to protect human rights and deter violations of international humanitarian law. It is the UK's long-standing policy not to comment on potential sanctions designations as to do so could reduce their effectiveness.
