fact-finding

To follow Harris’ expression of sorrow for her loss with “...But do you want to answer her?” is needless grandstanding, not fact-finding pressure.

He says that ministers visiting Liverpool would be "keen to get out of the conference centre to do some fact-finding visits and generate headlines which line up with their announcements at conference".

But the UN's latest fact-finding mission in the country says women "still live in a system that relegates them to second class citizens".

"The Sudanese government rejects in their entirety the recommendations of the UN mission," it said, calling the UN Human Rights Council behind the fact-finding mission "a political and illegal body".

The fact-finding mission also called for an arms embargo to be imposed on both sides involved in the conflict.
