question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the recommendation to establish an international tribunal to prosecute Daesh fighters for genocide and other crimes set out in the Council of Europe report of Special Rapporteur, Pieter Omtzigt, Prosecuting and punishing the crimes against humanity or even possible genocide committed by Daesh, published on 22 September 2017.

uin	HL5858
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government is proud to be at the forefront of global efforts to bring Daesh to justice. In 2017, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted the UK-drafted United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2379, which requests the Secretary General to establish an Investigative Team to gather evidence of Daesh crimes, beginning in Iraq. Evidence gathered by that team can support later prosecutions.</p><p>In many cases, prosecutions for any Daesh crimes will be best left to national authorities. Indeed, under UNSCR 2379, Iraq remains the 'primary intended recipient' for the evidence collected by the team. However, it is too early at this stage – and not for the UK alone – to determine what particular judicial mechanism will be appropriate in the future. The appropriate process will depend on the individual circumstances.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 09/03/2018 11:24:45 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

We will continue to collaborate with partners, including the UN, on this issue.</p><p>This Government shares the House's condemnation of Daesh's crimes and is aware of the strength of feeling on this matter both nationally and internationally. This Government maintains that the attribution of genocide should be a matter for judicial bodies and not a political decision. The growing body of evidence that terrible crimes have been committed by Daesh is one reason why we continue to work to bring Daesh to justice.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 09/03/2018 11:27:27 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL5860
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2018 answer text <p>The UK is at the forefront of global efforts to bring Daesh to Justice for their crimes. We have consulted widely with international partners on the issue, including on the consideration of relevant legal frameworks. Following these consultations, on 21 September 2017, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted UK-drafted Daesh Accountability Resolution 2379, which was co-sponsored by 46 Member States including the Netherlands. I am pleased that the Terms of Reference for the investigative team, which is mandated by the Resolution to collect evidence of Daesh atrocities, have now been agreed. We will continue to work closely with both the UN, the Government of Iraq and other international partners to help achieve our shared goal of holding Daesh to account.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 09/03/2018 11:26:15 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
