To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will raise in the UN Security Council the ongoing instability in the Mahgreb following the renewed hostilities in the Western Sahara.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will raise in the UN Security Council the ongoing instability in the Mahgreb following the renewed hostilities in the Western Sahara.
We are closely monitoring the situation in Western Sahara and have regular discussions with the UN, both in New York and in the region, as well as with Council members. The UN Security Council was briefed on Western Sahara in December. We continue to urge the parties to avoid further escalation, return to the ceasefire agreement, and re-engage with the UN-led political process. We strongly support the UN Secretary General's efforts to appoint a Personal Envoy as soon as possible.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of (1) the political situation in the North African Maghreb, and (2) the impact of further instability in that region on UK interests, in particular the impact on migration, counter-terrorism, energy security, and security in the Mediterranean.

Since 2011 progress has been made in furthering the democratic transition across the North African Maghreb. Nevertheless we recognise the importance of underpinning stability by enhancing political and economic inclusion of all citizens. We are alive to the regional threat of terrorism and regularly engage with our Maghreb partners, both at ministerial and official level, to support efforts to address security challenges, ensure political and economic stability, and manage migration. We are working with our regional partners to support ongoing reform processes, and to boost trade and investment, including through programming valued at more than £20 million this financial year. These programmes have provided support in areas such as governance, security, human rights, economic reform and border security.
Further information on our North Africa programmes is available on the gov.uk website.

The British Government strongly supports political and economic reform across North Africa as part of our wider work with the region under the Arab Partnership, to which we have committed £110 million over four years.
Ministers discuss the issue of greater Maghreb economic integration and co-operation on every occasion with their counterparts.
The Government supports efforts to revitalise the Arab Maghreb Union, and I will host a conference on “The Economy of the Maghreb: a Motor for Regional Co-operation and Prosperity” in July to discuss cross-border trade and employment opportunities with representatives from the region.

At this moment we need to give the Egyptians the benefit of the doubt because the process is still developing. We should try to get groups from the United Kingdom and other Western European Union countries reflecting faith forums and diverse groups, including leading British Muslims, to go to Egypt,...

The plight of Christians in the middle east is desperate and many of our actions have made that plight far worse, particularly in Iran. What is happening to the Coptic Christians is very worrying. Does the hon. Gentleman think there is more that we in the west can do? Can...

With respect to my hon. Friend and the House, I have always said in relation to these issues that linguistic competence is absolutely vital, and it is a scandal that the Foreign Office should have turned its back on that. He must acknowledge, as I think he is doing, that...

I could not agree more—it certainly allows us to have a great deal of information. However, at the fundamental core of the Foreign Office's work, which concerns politics and power, there appears to be a problem. The same problem was apparent when nobody challenged the Government's policy on Iraq, which...

I could not agree more. This is not an either/or situation. I am deliberately being somewhat, or even intensely, polemical, so let me try to be more reasonable. Technology is not irrelevant and neither is it the case that the world has not changed since the 19th century, but it...

My hon. Friend makes a very good point, but the problem is not our desire or our commitment to the multilateral system but our capacity and what we can actually do. Our engagement with the United Nations and NATO and our various grand views about globalisation and economics lead us...
