The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what diplomatic steps she is taking to help ensure the enforcement of UNSCR 2286.

Answered by Chris Elmore

During UN Protection of Civilians Week in May 2026, the UK raised the importance of Resolution 2286 in a Security Council statement and called on all parties to comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law. The UK keeps Council responses to reported violations of Resolution 2286 under close review and worked with partners to mark the Resolution's tenth anniversary, including co-sponsoring events on the protection of the medical mission and the protection of humanitarian personnel. We will continue to raise the protection of civilians as a priority in multilateral fora, including the protection of healthcare.
