In July 2019, the Government invited the Law Commission to undertake a wholesale review on weddings law in England and Wales. The Law Commission report was published on 19 July 2022 and contains 57 recommendations for extensive legislative reform.<\/p>
We must now take the time to consider the report recommendations fully. As has been set out in Parliament, marriage will always be one of our most important institutions, and we have a duty to consider the implications of any changes to the law in this area very carefully. We will publish a response to the report in due course.<\/p>"}

Russia\u2019s use of indiscriminate force against innocent civilians in its illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine amounts to war crimes. We are committed to accountability for the atrocities perpetuated by Russian forces in Ukraine and are actively engaging with our international partners to ensure that these crimes are investigated.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are dedicated to supporting the International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation into the situation in Ukraine, including through seconding national experts and a financial contribution of £1 million from the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund. We will continue our support for the ICC through a Justice Ministers Conference, co-hosted with the Netherlands in March 2023, which will focus on enhancing technical and practical assistance to the Court.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, the UK has embedded a dedicated Met Police liaison officer in The Hague to facilitate information sharing from the UK to the ICC. To gather evidence of war crimes, the Metropolitan Police SO15 War Crimes Team has worked with Ukrainian Community Groups in the UK, completing a number of appeals for witnesses through traditional and digital media platforms. In line with this, the SO15 War Crimes reporting portal has Ukrainian and Russian language options, and it also allows for media files to be uploaded.<\/p>"}

The Government introduced the Bill of Rights on 22 June. The Bill of Rights repeals and replaces the Human Rights Act 1998, which incorporated into UK law the rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights. Under the Bill of Rights, UK citizens will continue to be able to have their Convention rights upheld in UK courts.<\/p>
However, the Bill of Rights empowers UK courts to apply human rights in a UK context, affirming the primacy of the Supreme Court in the interpretation of rights. It reinforces the primacy of UK case law, clarifying there is no requirement to follow case law from the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). It makes clear that the UK Supreme Court, not the ECtHR, is the ultimate judicial arbiter in deciding the proper interpretation of rights in the UK.<\/p>"}
