International Tribunals (Sierra Leone) Bill [Lords]

I heard what the hon. Member for The Wrekin (Mark Pritchard) said, but in my view the fundamental point about Uganda— and, indeed, Sierra Leone—is that the writ of the ICC in these cases must be upheld. That is of the greatest importance. One has to recognise that what happens after the proceedings—if, indeed, the arrest warrants are ever executed on Kony and others in northern Uganda—might be a matter for the international community in due course, but the writ itself must be upheld.
