• End UK financial support for those Governments, including Rwanda and Uganda, involved in the war for the DR Congo’s mineral resources.
• Back UN Sanctions against Rwanda's President Gen. Kagame and top Rwandan military officials as well as Uganda's President Gen. Museveni and top Ugandan military officials.
• Use the UK’s position as a permanent member of the UN Security Council to:
i) Achieve the withdrawal of the M23 and all foreign backed militias from DR Congo.
ii) Ensure the M23 and all foreign backed militia’s lay down their arm.
iii) Ensure the perpetrators of war crimes, sexual violence against women and girls and crimes against children are brought to justice and held accountable.
• Sign Early Day Motion 597.
