Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent steps she has taken to help ensure Russia is held accountable for breaches of international law.

The UK is committed to ensuring accountability for atrocities committed during Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including Ukraine's domestic accountability efforts, the International Criminal Court's investigations, and the establishment of a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression. On the latter, I refer the Hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement I made on the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine on 14 May and the remarks of the Foreign Secretary during the recent Council of Europe Ministerial meeting in Chisinau on 15 May.
