Nigel Dodds – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Nigel Dodds on 2015-10-28.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with NATO and EU governments on implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2178 on foreign terrorist fighters.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

Ministers and officials consistently call for all states to implement fully the recommendations of UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2178 on foreign terrorist fighters, both bilaterally and in multilateral fora.

Experts from the UK have presented at technical sessions of the Counter-ISIL Coalition, the UN Counter-Terrorism Committee and the EU, discussing our work in this area and the implementation and passing of legislation in line with recommendations contained in UNSCR 2178 to combat this threat.
