Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether, in considering the establishment of a special tribunal on the crime of aggression following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it is their policy that the issue of personal immunities should to be decided by judges in line with international law.

Those responsible for the hideous atrocities we have seen in Ukraine must be held to account for their actions. The UK is working with partners in the Core Group, established and led by Ukraine, to consider the complex issues involved in establishing a Special Tribunal. The issue of personal immunities remains under discussion in the Core Group and will form part of any agreement on the wider package of issues relating to the establishment of a Special Tribunal.
