answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2022 answer text <p>The UK is working with the Ukrainian authorities and international partners to hold those committing atrocities in Ukraine to account, including in responding to gender-based and sexual violence. The UK has led efforts to refer the situation in Ukraine to the International Criminal Court (ICC), and contributed £1 million to the ICC to increase evidence collection capacity. We have also provided £2.5 million to the UK-EU-US Atrocity Crimes Advisory group to support Ukraine in investigating war crimes, including conflict related sexual violence. Our new two-year £10 million civil society fund will support local Ukrainian organisations, including those gathering evidence of war crimes.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/12/2022 17:13:31 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2022 answer text <p>The UK continues to discuss our approach to Russia at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with Ukraine and our international partners, including the G7. Membership of the IAEA by nuclear states is important to uphold global non-proliferation standards and nuclear safety. We will continue to work with Ukraine, international partners and the IAEA to hold Russian accountable for its actions in Ukraine. This was demonstrated at the last Board of Governors on 14 November, where both the IAEA Director General's report and Ukraine Resolution provided a stark assessment of the severe nuclear safety implications of Russia's aggression.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/12/2022 16:59:48 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2022 answer text <p>The Government of Ukraine leads on negotiating the exchange or release of Prisoners of War (PoWs) and civilians detained by Russia. The UK Government is fully supportive of their efforts in this regard. PoWs and civilian detainees are protected under International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and must be treated humanely. IHL grants the International Committee of the Red Cross access to visit PoWs and detainees to interview them without witnesses. Permission for such visits may not be withheld unless for temporary reasons of imperative military necessity.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/12/2022 16:58:35 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure international agencies provide full support for (1) children and their families, and (2) orphaned children, who have been kidnapped from Ukraine and taken to Russia to enable them to return home.

uin	HL3581
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2022 answer text <p>We condemn the forced deportation of Ukrainian civilians to Russia, and the reported illegal adoption of orphaned or unaccompanied children by Russian families. In June, the UK sanctioned the Russian Children's Rights Commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, for her alleged involvement in the forced deportation and adoption of Ukrainian children. We continue to call for Russia to grant meaningful access for humanitarian organisations to provide assistance to affected populations in Russia and Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine, in line with its obligations under international humanitarian law. Ukrainian civilians in Russia must be allowed to leave if that is their choice.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/12/2022 16:57:00 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
