Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of Russia's membership of the (1) Bosnia and Herzegovina Peace Implementation Council, and (2) the Peace Implementation Council Steering Board, in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; and what assessment they have made as to whether Russia’s membership should be reviewed.

While Russia continues to violate international law, human rights and multiple commitments to peace and security, we will work with our allies and partners across the multilateral system to condemn Russia's appalling actions and to isolate it on the international stage. As a signatory of the 1995 General Framework for Peace (GFAP) in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Russia is a member of the Peace Implementation Council (PIC) and its Steering Board. However, since the appointment of High Representative Christian Schmidt, whom the UK fully supports, Russia has not participated in the PIC or the Steering Board. Any review of Russia's membership of the PIC would be for the whole Steering Board.
