	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2017 answer text <p>Section 13 of the Criminal Finances Act allows for civil recovery to be undertaken in cases in relation to property connected with gross human rights abuse or violations. It expands the definition of 'unlawful conduct' within Part 5 of POCA to include conduct by a public official that constitutes gross human rights abuse or violations (defined as torture or inhuman, cruel or degrading treatment) of a person on the grounds that they have been obtaining, exercising, defending or promoting human rights, or have sought to expose gross human rights abuse conducted by a public official.</p><p>This new power also covers conduct occurring anywhere in the world, provided that it would constitute a sufficiently serious offence if it had occurred in the UK (i.e. that it would have been triable by indictment).</p><p>There are a number of dependencies which must be implemented before the Act, including section 13, can be commenced. Work is underway to ensure the necessary court rules, secondary legislation, training, guidance and human resources are in place for commencement of the Act by Summer 2018.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace grouped question UIN 108028 108030 108031 108032 question first answered 19/10/2017 14:57:00 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
