Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to facilitate an investigation by the International Criminal Court into war crimes committed by Russian armed forces in Ukraine.

Russia's use of indiscriminate force against innocent civilians, in its illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, must be investigated and those responsible must be held to account. That is why the UK led efforts to bring together allies on 2 March to expedite an International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation into Russian war crimes in Ukraine. With 37 countries joining the UK, it is the largest referral in the history of the ICC. As a founder member of the ICC, the UK is willing to provide the necessary technical assistance to support successful convictions.
