This approach provides a clear, impartial, and independent measure of whether genocide has occurred.<\/p><p>As the majority of mass atrocities occur in and around conflict, the Government believes a focus on conflict prevention is the best means to prevent most mass atrocities. The Government adopts a whole-of-government effort, using our diplomatic, development, defence and law enforcement capabilities, to help find pathways to peace and stability.<\/p><p>As a party to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the UK is fully committed to the prevention and punishment of genocide as appropriate under the Convention. This is reflected in the Government's support for the remit of the International Criminal Court under the Rome Statute. The Government has also supported the establishment of evidence gathering mechanisms and fact finding missions such as the International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism for Syria, the Burma collect and preserve mechanism, and the Daesh Investigative Team.<\/p>"}
