Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to support evidence preservation to enable future accountability for potential war crimes and international crimes within the conflict in Sudan; and what steps he is taking to increase capacity to monitor and respond to atrocity risks within the conflict in Sudan.

The UK has consistently supported the International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation into the situation in Sudan and continues to provide practical assistance to the Court in its work. This includes additional finance and improved investigative capability. We are scoping potential remote monitoring mechanisms with the capacity to collect and preserve digital content pertaining to potential international crimes.
