The UK is committed to supporting efforts to promote and protect human rights, democracy, and the rule of law in Guinea. We raise human rights issues of concern with the Guinean authorities and provide programme support to local partners, particularly on the rights of women and girls.The UK is clear about the importance of a return to constitutional order, maintaining good governance and ensuring the rule of law in Guinea.
