Trade Agreements: Israel
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to include a chapter on human rights in the proposed UK-Israel trade agreement.
Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander
The UK is a leading advocate for human rights around the world. We remain committed to the promotion of universal human rights. We will draw on our full range of tools and levers, including our independent global human rights sanctions regime, to hold to account those involved in serious human rights violations and abuses.
