Our priority remains ensuring the safety and security of the UK.

We continue to work closely with international partners in addressing the issue of Daesh Foreign Terrorist Fighters, particularly in the pursuit of justice of those who fought for or supported Daesh. However, repatriating citizens is ultimately a matter for individual countries.
