Palestinians (16 October 2024)

Question Asked

What steps he is taking to support the International Criminal Court investigation into the situation in the state of Palestine.

Asked by:
Imran Hussain (Independent)

Answer

The UK is fully committed to international law. We respect the independence of the International Criminal Court, and respect their independence in investigating the situation in Israel and the OPTs. UK practical support to the ICC includes: witness protection; sentence enforcement; commitment to the ICC’s reform process; and secondment of staff. The UK is also one of the Court’s major funders, providing support of £13.2 mill to the ICC’s annual (2024) budget. This Government is clear that International Humanitarian Law must be upheld, and civilians protected.
