Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to stop breaches of international humanitarian law in Western Sahara.

The UK fully supports the UN's efforts to secure a lasting and mutually acceptable political solution to the conflict that provides for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara. We are closely monitoring the situation in Western Sahara and call on the parties to return to the ceasefire agreement and UN-led political process.
