answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2016 answer text <p>The UK has a long-standing commitment to accountability, and believes that those responsible for war crimes in Syria - as elsewhere - must be held accountable.</p><p>The UK continues to make the case for referring the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court (ICC). In May 2014, the UK co-sponsored a UN Security Council resolution to refer all those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Syria, regardless of affiliation, to the ICC. Russia and China chose to veto this resolution. Russia has vetoed six resolutions on Syria since the conflict began.</p><p>In support of a future process of justice, we have trained and equipped people in Syria to collect evidence of atrocities. We hope that this process, approximating to ICC standards, may form an important part of a future process to hold those responsible to account.</p><p>We have made clear our strong support for the work of the independent UN Commission of Inquiry. As a result of UK diplomacy through the UN Human Rights Council, the UN Commission of Inquiry is carrying out an investigation into events in Aleppo to ensure those responsible for human rights violations and abuses are held to account.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 19/12/2016 17:43:38 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
