Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the use of chemical weapons by Sudanese government forces in Darfur.

​We are concerned by the allegations of chemical weapons use in Sudan. We are aware that the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons are looking into these allegations and have asked the government of Sudan to share all relevant information. The use of chemical weapons is contrary to international law and we unreservedly condemn their use by anyone, anywhere. We have raised our concerns during UN Security Council Consultations and directly with the government of Sudan.
