Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they recognise the term "scholasticide".
The UK Government does not recognise the term "scholasticide". "Scholasticide" is not a standalone international crime, though certain breaches of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) involving schools and educational facilities may be war crimes. Promoting IHL compliance is central to the Government's humanitarian policy, and IHL compliance provides protections for civilian objects, such as schools.
