Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what involvement the Mass Atrocity Assessment Hub has in assessing the scale and nature of atrocity crimes in Sudan, and how that analysis is shaping the response to those atrocities.
The Mass Atrocity Hub is now part of The Conflict and Atrocity Prevention Department, which has been working closely with the Africa Directorate on Sudan since April 2023. Support has included assessing the risk of atrocities in Sudan, providing analytical capabilities to collect, verify and preserve open-source data relating to potential atrocity crimes and violations of international humanitarian law, as well as technical advisory support on Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's atrocity prevention and response workstreams.
