Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if his Department will consider the potential merits of establishing a diplomatic group on Children and Armed Conflict in Sudan.

In February 2026, the UK co-founded the Coalition for Atrocity Prevention and Justice in Sudan, a grouping of eleven members which aims to coordinate and strengthen international action to prevent atrocities, promote accountability, and protect civilians, including children. Through the Coalition we are calling for the warring parties to protect civilians, comply with international humanitarian law, and facilitate safe and unhindered humanitarian access at every level. We have no current plans to create a parallel grouping focused solely on Children and Armed Conflict in Sudan, as this agenda is in the remit of the Coalition.
