The Earl of Sandwich – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by The Earl of Sandwich on 2015-11-05.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to support the implementation of transitional justice in South Sudan following the recent publication of the African Union Commission of Inquiry report on South Sudan.

Baroness Anelay of St Johns

We welcome the publication of the Commission of Inquiry report and are actively encouraging the African Union to establish the Hybrid Court as soon as possible. In October, the UN Security Council, with UK support, amended the mandate of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) to be able to provide technical assistance to set up both the Hybrid Court and also the Commission for Truth, Reconciliation and Healing.
