(asked on 26th September 2022) - View Source

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what progress has been made by the Office for Conflict, Stabilisation and Mediation in creating a dedicated hub to (1) design, and (2) test, a comprehensive approach to upstream conflict and conflict-related atrocity prevention.


This question was answered on 11th October 2022

The Office for Conflict, Stabilisation and Mediation (OCSM) has established a Conflict and Atrocity Prevention Department that leads on anticipating and mitigating conflicts and mass atrocities. The department focusses on tackling the underlying drivers of emerging conflict and mass atrocities, rapidly responding to crises and supporting the UK's efforts to deny adversaries space in conflict to advance their interests. The department is deepening analysis in key contexts, testing and improving our monitoring capabilities and implementing conflict prevention interventions in a small sample of countries, working with geographic teams to drive ambitious UK policy built on evidence.
