On 27 September 2019, the Foreign Secretary announced the UK's support for the Lima Group's referral.</p><p>The Court has yet to conclude the Preliminary Examination into the situation in Venezuela. The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) is carrying out a Preliminary Examination to determine whether the situation meets the legal criteria established by the Rome Statute to warrant investigation by the OTP. The OTP will provide an update on the Preliminary Examination in December in its annual report on Preliminary Examination Activities. We look forward to hearing about the progress the OTP has made. It would not be appropriate for the UK to comment further at this stage. The UK respects the independence of the ICC Prosecutor and her role in undertaking a Preliminary Examination into the situation in Venezuela.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 22/10/2020 16:55:07 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
