Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government which intergovernmental agencies in which they participate involve representatives of churches and faith organisations.
The UK Government participates in a large number of intergovernmental bodies including but not limited to the UN. Many of these bodies involve churches and faith organisations in their work and discussions in one capacity or another, whether regularly or periodically. We believe that faith and belief leaders have a valuable role to play in in promoting Freedom of Religion or Belief and in other areas particularly in regards to other human rights issues and we will continue to work with them both within intergovernmental bodies and elsewhere.
