Conclusion
Not Addressed
Para 73
Although ultimate responsibility must lie with the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, Ambassadors and other UK Heads of Mission should have a central role in preventing atrocities in the countries where they work. That role should be explicitly articulated in their job descriptions.
Government Response Summary
The government discusses Sustainable Development Goal 16 and the 2022 International Development Strategy, focusing on openness, predictability, the rule of law, and empowering civil society. It does not directly address the role of Ambassadors.
