answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2019 answer text <p>The British Government is clear that those individuals who have fought for, or supported Daesh, whatever their nationality, should face justice and accountability through prosecution in the most appropriate jurisdiction. That will often be in the region where their alleged offences have been committed. <br>The Government takes these responsibilities extremely seriously which is why, working closely with international partners, we are pursuing all efforts to address this threat and establish pathways for effective prosecution.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 23/10/2019 13:51:41 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2019 answer text <p>​Any decision in relation to the continued detention, transfer or prosecution of detainees is ultimately a matter for authorities under whose jurisdiction the individuals are detained. The UK opposes the death penalty in all circumstances, as a matter of principle. We have human rights concerns relating to the trials in Iraq's domestic courts of Iraqi nationals suspected of support for Daesh: we regularly raise these concerns, including our opposition to the death penalty, with the Iraqi authorities.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 23/10/2019 13:54:52 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
