War Crimes
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will ask the United Nations General Assembly to establish a special tribunal, with the ability to hear individual cases, if impartial investigations conclude that war crimes have occurred in Israel, Palestine and Lebanon in recent years.
- Answer
-
We are gravely concerned at the allegations made during the Gaza conflict by such credible organisations as the International Committee of the Red Cross and the UN. We have been clear that such allegations must be investigated. We expect, and urge, Israel to investigate allegations of abuses by its forces.
