We do not have any evidence to suggest that Yezidi women are being trafficked outside of Iraq and Syria. We continue to work closely with our Global Coalition partners to defeat Daesh, including those in the region. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 09/11/2016 15:27:24 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2016 answer text <p>The UK regrets the decision by South Africa and Burundi to initiate proceedings to leave the International Criminal Court (ICC). We recognise there are issues that need to be resolved with the ICC to ensure that it has the widest possible support. ICC working groups are currently considering some of the challenges in The Hague and New York. We hope that South Africa and Burundi will remain signatories to the Rome Statute and engage positively in further dialogue. We are open to discussing any of the issues or other concerns with states parties, now and at the Assembly of States Parties in November.</p><p>On 21 October, the EU High Representative made a Declaration on behalf of the European Union on the African ICC withdrawals. The matter will be discussed at the upcoming EU-South Africa Human Rights dialogue on 9 November in Brussels. The Government will continue to support EU efforts to engage African partners to resolve issues and encourage them to remain active members, able to deliver change from within.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 02/11/2016 17:04:24 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
