To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the UN concerning criticism of the United Kingdom’s internal and external policies by UN officials.

Baroness Anelay of St Johns

The British Government carefully notes all commentary, complimentary and otherwise, from different parts of the UN system and responds in a differentiated way, depending on our assessment of the comments made, and the expertise and mandate of the body or individual concerned, in close coordination with Whitehall departments. We engage all parts of the UN system to ensure that the UK’s policies are clearly explained and understood.
