UNA-UK is deeply disappointed that MPs approved the cut to UK aid despite significant cross-party opposition.
🇬🇧 committed to the @UN target of 0.7% in 1970. It took 43 years to reach it. In 2015 it was enshrined into law by the Conservative government.

We strongly urge supporters of an effective global system, and of a UK committed to its global role, to vote to restore the UK’s aid target of 0.7%.
For more, check out our statement following the #UKAid cut announcement in Nov 2020:
una.org.uk/news/una-uk-st…#SaveUKAid
On Monday MPs are bringing an amendment to Parliament to force a vote on the #UKAid cuts.
It would restore the aid spending target of 0.7% of national income, after the government announced in Nov 2020 that it would only be spending 0.5%.

UNA-UK, @RUSI_org + @UNAWestminster's #PKDay2021 conference aims to consider how the UK can match its ambitions with action.
We will reflect on the lessons from the deployment of UK forces to @UN_MINUSMA + explore opportunities for the UK to engage more with peacekeeping.
The UK government’s #IntegratedReview promises to play a more active part in protecting human rights + global norms.
While the ambition is welcome, details about how such objectives might be achieved remain scarce.
Read UNA-UK's analysis on the #ISDFPR:

Hard not to conclude that the integrated review's proposed shift in priorities died before it even began. The cuts appear to have, if anything, disproportionately fallen on agendas the IR said were a priority like atrocity prevention
Hard not to conclude that the integrated review's proposed shift in priorities died before it even began. The cuts appear to have, if anything, disproportionately fallen on agendas the IR said were a priority like atrocity prevention
In the outcomes of its #IntegratedReview, HMG committed to being a 'force for good in the world – defending openness, democracy & human rights – & an increased determination to seek multilateral solutions'
@CommonsIDC rightly asks what this will mean for #Tigray
The cut also suggests that government actions are not following the priorities outlined in the Integrated Review.
Remaining resources must be firmly targeted at upholding the UK’s stated commitments + priorities as a champion of our multilateral system.

UNA-UK is dismayed that the UK Government confirmed it has reduced funding to the @UNFPA in 2021 by 85%.
These decisions directly undermine the Government’s claim that girls’ empowerment and gender equality is a key global priority for the UK.

A holistic approach to atrocity prevention could
▶️transform UK’s approach to mass atrocities
▶️enhance UK contributions to prevention
▶️improve domestic & international security.
