ISIL continues to brutally and indiscriminately murder and persecute people in both Iraq and Syria. They are terrorising people from many minority groups in areas under their control including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people. The Government strongly condemns any and all abuses or violations of human rights.
We are supporting the Government of Iraq as they work to deliver a unified response against ISIL. The UK fully supports the Iraqi government in its efforts to uphold the rule of law and bring those responsible for all violations and abuses of human rights to justice.
The Government, through UK Aid, is providing humanitarian relief of more than £700 million to help alleviate the suffering of displaced people in Iraq and Syria.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>"}
