Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 25 February 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking through diplomatic channels to organise a collective response to the activities of the Lord’s Resistance Army.
The UK has consistently promoted a co-ordinated international approach to defeating the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and is particularly active in leading this work in the UN Security Council. We are encouraging the affected countries, alongside the UN and African Union (AU), to convene a high-level meeting to discuss how to bring an end to the threat which the LRA poses to thousands of innocent civilians. I discussed the issue with the Ugandan Acting Foreign Minister in Kampala, and at the UNGA last year. FCO officials also participate in the International Working Group on the LRA, and have regular contact with their US State Department and European External Action Service (EEAS) counterparts, as well as contact with NGOs on the issue.
