As we have stated on numerous occasions, including the Urgent Question debate on 5 November 2025, the Government remains extremely concerned about reports of external support to the warring parties in Sudan, and we have repeatedly called on all international actors to end the supply of weapons, finance, and personnel, and use whatever influence they have to bring the warring parties to the negotiating table.
The Foreign Secretary's statement to the House on 5 February set out the action taken against those accused of procuring Colombian mercenaries to train and fight for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), as well as those involved in funding the RSF's activities. To date, we have sanctioned 24 individuals and entities aligned with or backing the warring parties.
Last year, we worked closely with international partners to secure the renewal of the long-standing UN arms embargo on Darfur. The UK will support its further renewal in September and will continue to push for the embargo to be extended to the whole of Sudan. We expect all countries to comply with their obligations under UN sanctions regimes.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what diplomatic steps she is taking to help ensure the enforcement of UNSCR 2286.
During UN Protection of Civilians Week in May 2026, the UK raised the importance of Resolution 2286 in a Security Council statement and called on all parties to comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law. The UK keeps Council responses to reported violations of Resolution 2286 under close review and worked with partners to mark the Resolution's tenth anniversary, including co-sponsoring events on the protection of the medical mission and the protection of humanitarian personnel. We will continue to raise the protection of civilians as a priority in multilateral fora, including the protection of healthcare.

No such assessment is required, but the Hon Member can find the UK's Explanation of Vote at the following link on GOV.UK: https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/uk-explanation-of-vote-on-the-declaration-of-the-trafficking-of-enslaved-africans-and-racialised-chattel-enslavement-of-africans-as-the-gravest-crime.
That this House regrets the Government’s decision to abstain on the recent United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/80/L.48 rather than vote for it; recognises the immense harm and suffering caused by the transatlantic slave trade, and the legacy of harm left by the practice, as well as colonialism and neocolonialism; notes that the Ghanaian Government’s resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade a crime against humanity was backed by the African Union, the Caribbean Community and a large global coalition; further notes that engagement with discussions on reparations would reveal that this is not just about financial compensation, but accountability, equality and justice; believes that, given Britain’s central role in the trafficking and enslavement of African peoples, the decision to abstain was a betrayal of every life consumed by this gross human rights abuse; is concerned that no Parliamentary debate was held prior to the vote and therefore does not believe this vote reflects the will of Parliament; and calls on the Government to commit to a full Parliamentary debate prior to any future UN resolutions on reparations for the transatlantic slave trade.

That this House regrets the Government’s decision to abstain on the recent United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/80/L.48 rather than vote against it; recognises the suffering caused by the transatlantic slave trade; further recognises the historic efforts of the Royal Navy’s West Africa Squadron in helping to suppress and end the transatlantic slave trade; affirms the United Kingdom’s commitment to remembrance, education, and the eradication of modern slavery; reiterates that there is no legal basis for reparations for historical slavery under international law; believes it would be inappropriate to impose financial liability on present-day citizens for actions of past generations; and calls on the Government to vote against any future United Nations resolutions seeking to establish or imply such reparations.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the offer of UK military support to the United States to reopen the Strait of Hormuz requires a UN resolution.
The Government is in discussions with the US, and Gulf, European and international partners on what we can do to open up the Strait of Hormuz, restoring freedom of navigation as quickly as possible and ease the economic impact.
It would be premature for me to comment on any military planning, noting the need for using all Government levers including diplomacy and working with partners.

On 24 February, the UK Special Envoy for Women and Girls, Baroness Harman, met senior German Foreign Ministry officials to discuss coordinated action on atrocity prevention and accountability in Sudan, and ensuring meaningful participation by Sudanese women, and wider civil society voices, at the International Sudan Conference in April in Berlin that Germany is co-hosting with the UK, the African Union, the European Union, France and the US. This meeting also provided a platform for Sudanese women to inform discussions ahead of the Berlin Sudan Conference.
We remain in close discussion with our co-hosts to shape an inclusive and meaningful Conference. We continue to engage with all parties, to urge agreement to a ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access, and adherence to international humanitarian law.

This House notes that in July 1974 Turkey invaded the Republic of Cyprus and continues to occupy 37% of its territory and that the city of Famagusta was seized in August 1974 and remains under Turkish military control; further notes that despite UN Security Council Resolution 550 (1984), which declares any settlement of Famagusta by anyone other than its lawful inhabitants inadmissible, Turkey has settled much of the city with mainland settlers and threatens to open the remaining sealed-off area; recalls the 1979 High-Level Agreement and UN Security Council Resolutions 550 and 789, as well as resolutions and petitions of the European Parliament, the House of Commons, and the Council of Europe, which call for the return of Famagusta to its lawful inhabitants and for Turkey to comply fully with UN resolutions; condemns Turkey’s occupation of northern Cyprus, the illegal exploitation of Cyprus’ EEZ, incursions into the UN buffer zone, and demographic engineering through the transfer of Turkish citizens; further condemns illegal construction, the displacement of Greek Cypriots, the desecration of cultural and historical sites, and attempts to erase heritage; supports a comprehensive settlement based on a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation with political equality, in line with UN resolutions and the EU acquis; further supports confidence-building measures and stresses that the return of Famagusta must form part of them; and calls on the UK Government, as a guarantor power, to impose sanctions to ensure Turkey’s compliance with UN resolutions fully.
