star this property answer text <p>​We follow closely the human rights situation in Syria, including north-east Syria. We are concerned at reported violations of international humanitarian law in the context of the Turkish military intervention and have called on all parties to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law. As a party to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, we will continue to work closely with international partners in pursuit of justice for the victims of Daesh in Syria and Iraq. The British Government supports the UN mechanisms to monitor and gather evidence of any war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity committed in Syria, namely the UN Commission of Inquiry for Syria and the International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism for Syria.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>​The British Government is deeply concerned by reports of the execution of civilians in north east Syria. We are in regular contact with the US regarding the rapidly developing situation. The Prime Minister spoke to President Trump last week, and the Foreign and Defence Secretaries have also spoken with their US counterparts. We are united in calling on Turkey to end the operation, and on all parties to abide by their obligations under international humanitarian law. The UK has no plans to seek a referral of Turkey to the International Criminal Court.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>While we have not raised this issue with the Israeli authorities, we condemn any incidence of violence by settlers against Palestinians. We also remain seriously concerned by the continued demolition of Palestinian property by Israeli authorities. We consistently call for an immediate end to all actions that undermine the viability of the two-state solution, including the demolition of Palestinian property in the West Bank. In all but the most exceptional of circumstances, demolition in occupied territories is contrary to International Humanitarian Law and to UN Security Council resolutions. The practice causes unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians and is harmful to the peace process.

The UK strongly supports efforts to pursue accountability in Syria. It is the policy of the British Government, that any judgment as to whether war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide have occurred is a matter for judicial decision after consideration of all the available evidence, rather than for governments or non-judicial bodies. To this end, we are providing diplomatic and financial support to the UN Impartial Independent Investigative Mechanism to gather evidence and prepare legal cases</p><p>We expect all sides to respect their obligations towards civilians under the international humanitarian law.</p> more like this
