Proceeding contribution from Boris Johnson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 November 2016. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counter-Daesh Campaign: Iraq and Syria.
Counter-Daesh Campaign: Iraq and Syria
My hon. Friend raises an extremely good point. As I mentioned to the House a few weeks ago and repeated just now, the UK has launched a campaign, working with our partners, to bring to justice the Daesh terrorists, the perpetrators of violence and crimes against humanity. As I said before, the mills of justice grind slowly but they grind small. We are assembling the evidence, supporting NGOs in the gathering of evidence and working with our partners to establish exactly what legal mechanism would be most suited to bringing those people to justice.
