Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to International Ministerial Conference on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative 2022: national commitments, published on 29 November 2022, whether there are plans to publish national commitments from (a) South Sudan and (b) Jordan.

The International Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative Conference (28-29 November 2022) was a key opportunity to turn up the dial on the global response to conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV).

The UK launched a new Political Declaration at the conference to strengthen the global response to CRSV. Endorsing countries were invited to make commitments outlining action they will take on CRSV. We have received 54 endorsements and 40 national commitments so far. The national commitments from Jordan and South Sudan are now available on GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/conflict-related-sexual-violence-political-declaration-at-the-2022-preventing-sexual-violence-in-conflict-initiative-conference/international-ministerial-conference-on-preventing-sexual-violence-in-conflict-initiative-2022-national-commitments).
