Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what advice or guidance her Department provides on compliance with sanctions imposed by the United States against judges, lawyers, and officials of the International Criminal Court to banks and firms providing financial services.

The Government has not issued specific advice or guidance to banks or financial services firms on complying with United States sanctions imposed on individuals associated with the International Criminal Court.

The action taken by the United States under Executive Order 14203 is limited to the jurisdiction of the United States and does not reflect any legal action or domestic sanction taken by the UK.

The UK respects the independence of the International Criminal Court and does not support sanctioning individuals or organisations associated with the Court.
