Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the percentage of the 120 million people who are refugees or displaced worldwide, who have been forced to leave their homes because of, as one of the factors, Article 18 violations involving persecution against them on grounds of religion or belief.

The UK government does not track or estimate the proportion of people forcibly displaced due to persecution on grounds of religion or belief. The UK government is committed to upholding and promoting human rights, including freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) for all. We continue to highlight the severity and scale of violations and abuses of FoRB all over the world. We do this multilaterally, by coordinating with partners at fora such as the UN to promote FoRB, and bilaterally through our diplomatic network.
