uin	HL3021
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2014 answer text <p>The UK is a strong supporter of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the principle of universality. We have consistently raised Iraq’s responsibility to observe international laws and obligations in our contacts with Human Rights interlocutors within the Government of Iraq. The UK has not, to date, made representations to the new Government of Iraq in regards to accession to the Rome Statute or accepting ICC jurisdiction in relation to the current situation in the country. Any decision to involve the ICC in the situation in Iraq must be made on the basis of whether the court would prove an effective means of bringing the perpetrators of atrocities to justice. We will use our ongoing dialogue with the Government of Iraq to explore all available options for ensuring accountability.</p><p>We remain deeply concerned by the situation in Iraq and the threat from the self-styled Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). We welcome Prime Minister al-Abadi’s commitments to inclusivity, to protecting Iraqi citizens, addressing human rights abuses and holding those responsible to account, and look forward to these commitments being translated into action.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 01/12/2014 12:04:08 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

uin	HL3023
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2014 answer text We have serious concerns about the use of punitive demolitions to destroy the homes of the families of Palestinian suspected terrorists by the Israeli authorities. On 20 November, a senior official from our Embassy in Tel Aviv raised these concerns with Alon Ushpiz, Political Director of Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during a joint demarche with EU partners. In separate discussions, officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv have also registered concerns about this policy with a number of Israeli officials from the National Security Council and Prime Minister's Office. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 01/12/2014 15:09:20 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
