The UK is a strong supporter of international justice and the independence of the International Criminal Court (ICC). As an independent organisation, it is for the ICC Prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan to decide upon the focus of his investigations. The UK continues to call for International Humanitarian Law to be respected and civilians to be protected.
