The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (Catherine West)

I thank the hon. Member for his passionate defence of human rights in Kashmir. He of course understands the UK Government’s position that all countries should respect sovereignty, human rights and the rule of law, and we push all parties to work towards upholding United Nations resolutions.
