answer text <p>The UK is party to the United Nations Convention Against Torture and the optional protocol to that Convention. Torture is illegal in the UK and under international law. Those who have committed crimes abroad that fall under the ICC Statute, including genocide and crimes against humanity, can be tried in the UK if they come here.
