Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what support they have given to embedding (1) conflict-related sexual violence expertise, and (2) child-specific expertise, in all (a) national, and (b) international, mechanisms currently investigating violations of international humanitarian law and human rights in Ukraine.

The UK is providing £2.5 million to the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group, to support Ukraine's domestic investigations and prosecution of international crimes, including sexual violence and crimes against children. We have deployed the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative team of experts to support the Office of the Prosecutor General. We are supporting the International Criminal Court in the provision of evidence collection and psychosocial support, and UN Women in providing conflict-related sexual violence expertise and mentoring to the Ukrainian authorities.
