<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 contact with the Government of Iraq. The
UK has not, to date, made representations to the current Government of Iraq regarding
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 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 continue to look at every available option for ensuring
accountability.</p>
