Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to a Daesh member being convicted of genocide by the German Federal Court of Justice, what plans they have to recognise the Daesh atrocities as genocide.

The UK strongly condemns atrocities against the Yazidis in Iraq. The decision to uphold the verdict against the Daesh member sends a strong signal to the international community and we are considering the implications under HMG's genocide determination policy. We will continue to do our utmost both to end violations of international human rights law and where appropriate, international humanitarian law; and to prevent the escalation of any such atrocities and alleviate the suffering of those who are affected.
