Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson)'s launching of the global campaign Bringing Daesh to Justice. As a first step in this campaign, we are working with the government of Iraq to bring a proposal before the UN on evidence gathering and preservation in Iraq. It is vital that this is done now, before evidence is lost or destroyed. This campaign is about justice for all Daesh victims and we expect it to cover all violations of international humanitarian law and violations and abuses of international human rights law by Daesh including war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 05/01/2017 16:47:09 question first ministerially corrected 06/01/2017 13:56:42 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns previous answer version 28631 answering member printed Lord Archer of Weston-Super-Mare answering member 1612
