PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
South Sudan: Peace Negotiations (13 July 2015)

The UK supports faith and community-led reconciliation efforts through funding to the South Sudan Peace and Reconciliation Commission (SSPRC) to enable mitigation of potential local conflicts; support to the Catholic Relief Services in coordinating conflict prevention; support to a cross-border conflict mitigation programme on the Sudanese border; and support of a nation-wide survey on how communities resolve local disputes through the Community Security and Arms Control Programme (CSAC). On 28 May 2015 officials at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office used a social media channel to express support for a statement of the South Sudanese Council of Churches that condemned the recent Human Rights violations and emphasised the need to bring an immediate end to the conflict.
