Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the recommendation in paragraph 6.2.8 of the Council of Europe Resolution 2190 (2017) that possible future UN Security Council resolutions that may contribute to the prosecution of Daesh members should not be obstructed.

The UK is at the forefront of international efforts to bring Daesh to justice. On 21 September 2017, the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously to adopt UK-proposed Daesh Accountability Resolution 2379. Evidence gathered by the Investigative Team established under UNSCR 2379 will be for eventual use in fair and independent criminal proceedings, consistent with applicable international law. The UK will work alongside the Government of Iraq and our partners to implement Resolution 2379, ensuring that the UN does everything possible to hold Daesh to account.
