Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with the International Criminal Court on the investigation of people implicated in possible crimes against humanity against the Tawergha community.

​The UK continues to make representations to Libyan interlocutors about complying with International Criminal Court (ICC) requests and about Libya's human rights record more broadly. As one of a few countries with a diplomatic presence in Libya, we are occasionally called on by the ICC to provide information about events unfolding on the ground.

It would not be appropriate for us to discuss with ICC officials the substance of the Prosecutor's investigations; the UK is committed to the independence and impartiality of the International Criminal Court.
