Foreign and Commonwealth Office written question – answered at on 8 June 2020.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of establishing an international contact group in consultation with his international counterparts to monitor the political situation in Hong Kong.
The Foreign Secretary is engaging actively with a range of international partners to set out our position and impress on them the gravity of the events that have taken place. We want to build up a groundswell of those who share our commitment to international law. We believe that is the most effective means of getting China to live up to its obligations and responsibilities as a leading member of the international community. We will also work within international institutions such as the UN Human Rights Council to ensure that China upholds the commitments they made as co-signatory to the Joint Declaration.
