Rejected
We do not currently have plans to appoint a Special Envoy on Atrocity Prevention. Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon has oversight of Government policy on atrocity prevention. He is FCDO Minister with responsibility for human rights policy and matters relating to the United Nations, and is the Prime Minister’s Special Representative on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict. Lord Ahmad is therefore well placed to oversee the Government’s work in this area.
