The UK will provide the necessary support to the ICC, including through £1 million in funding and technical assistance. In addition to supporting the ICC investigation, the Attorney General led a scoping mission to the region in May, to assess how UK Government Departments can assist Ukraine's domestic investigation into war crimes.</p><p>Regarding alleged Rwandan war criminals in the UK, an ongoing Metropolitan Police Service investigation into five alleged Rwandan genocidaires remains a priority for the Police, Home Office and wider UK Government.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 08/07/2022 12:05:03 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
