Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 June 2026

Debate

Darfur: Atrocities

Contribution

My Lords, I take the Minister back to the International Development Committee meeting that she attended yesterday, which has already been referred to. Nathaniel Raymond, executive director of the Humanitarian Research Lab at the Yale School of Public Health, testified that the UK had failed to act on intelligence and genocide warnings in Sudan. He specifically said that there had been not enough political will, and that it was blocked by the UK’s unwillingness to confront the UAE, the primary military enabler, as we know, of the RSF massacre in El Fasher in 2025. What direct representations were made in response to the intelligence that was received in order to try to combat an impending genocide?
