answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text There are currently no Middle East Peace Process negotiations. US Secretary of State Kerry has made clear that the US is fully committed to bringing the parties back to negotiations, and we would look to the Quartet to play a supportive role should they resume. During the last round of negotiations between July 2013 and April 2014, the Quartet called on all parties to take every possible step to promote conditions conducive to the success of the negotiating process and to refrain from actions that undermine trust or prejudge final status issues. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 04/12/2014 15:48:33 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will propose that the European Union makes adherence to the International Criminal Court a necessary condition for both Israel and Palestine in any negotiations concerning trade, tourism or visas.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL3111
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2014 answer text It is normal practice now for the EU to seek the inclusion of a standard text on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in agreements with third countries. We would therefore expect this to be the case for any new third country agreement which the EU entered into with either Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territories. These clauses usually require parties to agreements to assist in strengthening the position of the ICC and to respect the principles underpinning the Court but do not require membership per se. The EU has no means to compel either Israel or the Palestinians to become parties to the ICC. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 03/12/2014 14:55:24 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
