Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what role the UK plans to play in building on Treaty of Jeddah processes.

The UK has consistently condemned abuses and atrocities committed by the warring parties to the conflict in Sudan. We will continue to use all levers at our disposal to promote the protection of civilians in accordance with the Jeddah Declaration. The co-chairs' statement issued at the London Sudan Conference on 15 April noted the important commitments articulated by the Jeddah Declaration. In June, the UK will for the first time join key international partners in the Sudan Consultative Group in Brussels and continue to uphold our calls for the belligerents to comply with the Jeddah Declaration.
