We are currently funding efforts to gather and preserve evidence of crimes committed by Daesh in Iraq, and continue to support the UN Commission of Inquiry's investigations in Syria. On 19 September, the Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson), along with his Iraqi and Belgian colleagues, launched a global campaign to bring Daesh to justice. We intend this to include additional, UN-led action to gather and preserve evidence in Iraq. We are working with the Government of Iraq on a proposal to bring to the UN. more like this

The High Commissioner chaired a meeting with the US, French, Canadians and the EU on 1 December to discuss this matter. The UK supports the independent investigation by the National Commission for Human Rights and Freedoms into the violence and deaths in Bamenda.

On 16 November I issued a public statement expressing our deep concern over the land regulation bill in the Israeli Knesset which seeks to ‘legalise’ settlement outposts across the West Bank. Such outposts are currently illegal under both Israeli domestic law and international humanitarian law. Should this proposal go ahead, it would seriously undermine prospects for a two-state solution. We urge the Israeli Government to reconsider the land regulation bill at the earliest opportunity. On 3 November I also issued a public statement condemning the recent announcement by the Israeli authorities to approve permits for constructing 181 new homes in the illegal settlement of Gilo in East Jerusalem. Our Embassy in Tel Aviv have also regularly raised our concerns with the Israeli authorities on the continued expansion of settlements and the retroactive &quot;legalisation&quot; of outposts in the West Bank.</p>

These proposed actions call into question the commitment of the Israeli government to the two-state solution. We continue to raise our grave concerns about Israeli settlements with the Israeli Government. I raised our concerns about settlements with Israeli Defence Minister Lieberman during our meeting in London on 7 September 2016. ​The Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Mr Johnson), also raised our concerns over new settlements with Prime Minister Netanyahu when he met him in Jerusalem on 30 September. I issued a further statement on 16 November expressing our deep concern about the land regulation bill in the Israeli Knesset proposing to ‘legalise’ settlement outposts across the West Bank. Such outposts are currently illegal under both Israeli domestic law and international humanitarian law and should be removed entirely.</p>
