House of Lords written question – answered at on 23 March 2011.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the situation in Côte d'Ivoire.
The situation in Cote d'Ivoire remains volatile. The Government continue to be very concerned at the deteriorating security situation and the increasing levels of violence. We are monitoring events closely and working with our international partners in support of the African Union's efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the crisis which respects democratic principles. The UK urges Mr Gbagbo to respect the recommendations of the African Union and stand down to allow President Alassane Ouattara to take his place leading a unity government as Cote d'Ivoire's legitimately elected head of state.
