Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 March 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
No one should be in any doubt about the fact that we remain strongly committed to the universal jurisdiction for the enforcement of international war crimes. The only question at issue is what the gateway to enforcement of those issues is and whether they should be able to be enforced by a member of the public, or whether enforcement should be carried out on the basis of a motion brought to the court by the public prosecution service. Let no one be in any doubt about the fact that we strongly support the universal jurisdiction—the question is just about the gateway to its enforcement.
