Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he is taking to ensure that projects led by his Department and funded through the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund do not contribute to human rights violations or enable funding to be diverted to terrorist groups.

All Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) funded programmes managed by the FCO have robust monitoring processes in place to mitigate the risk of funds being diverted. We take appropriate action on all allegations of misuse of funds. Where specific human rights concerns are identified, an Overseas Security and Justice Assessment is completed to identify risks and mitigating actions.
