Lord Beaumont of Whitley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they support the creation of an International Criminal Court able to prosecute any individual for genocide, aggression, war crimes and other crimes against humanity without incurring a veto by national governments.

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

We support the creation of an International Criminal Court. Our policy on various detailed matters relating to the jurisdiction and functioning of the court is still under consideration.
