To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the government of Turkey about reports of the aerial bombardment on 25 April in Derek in Northern Syria and Shingal in Iraq, which may have affected Yazidi people located in those areas.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the government of Turkey about reports of the aerial bombardment on 25 April in Derek in Northern Syria and Shingal in Iraq, which may have affected Yazidi people located in those areas.
As a close ally and partner, we regularly discuss the situation in northern Syria and northern Iraq with the Turkish government. Turkey has a legitimate right to defend itself against the PKK. We have encouraged Turkey to work closely with Global Coalition partners, the Iraqi government and Kurdistan Region of Iraq in order to combat terrorist organisations like the PKK and Daesh.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they expect prosecution of those alleged to be responsible for genocide and war crimes in Iraq and Syria will begin.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they expect prosecution of those alleged to be responsible for genocide and war crimes in Iraq and Syria will begin.
We are committed to ensuring that those responsible for the most serious crimes of international concern in Iraq and Syria are held to account. The new International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism for Syria, which we co-sponsored, will help collate the necessary evidence for future prosecutions. This complements our support to the existing UN Commission of Inquiry and our funding for the collection of documentary evidence. Meanwhile, investigative and prosecutorial work is already underway across the world to bring Daesh to justice. We are working with the Government of Iraq and other international partners to identify ways to take this work forward, including at the UN, as well as funding projects and specialist organisations to gather and preserve evidence of Daesh atrocities.

There have been a number of credible reports of use of chemical weapons in Iraq since 2014, becoming more frequent over time. We welcome the Government of Iraq's decision to invite the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to support its investigations into chemical weapons use in Iraq. The Government of Iraq's findings confirmed the use of sulphur mustard in northern Iraq by a non-State actor in 2015 and 2016 and investigations continue into other allegations of use.

In March 2017, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Executive Council agreed an approach proposed by Iraq to dealing with the remaining remnants of Saddam-era chemical weapons programme remaining in bunkers at Al-Muthanna in Iraq. We understand that the remaining materials are in poor condition which makes them hazardous to access and handle. However we continue to press the Government of Iraq to proceed as swiftly as possible and to ensure the security of the site.

We welcome the Government of Iraq's decision to invite the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to support its investigations into chemical weapons use in Iraq. Iraq's findings confirmed the use of sulphur mustard in Iraq by a non-State actor in 2015 and 2016. We condemn the use of chemical weapons by anyone anywhere. Those who commit such atrocities must be held accountable. We continue to work with Iraq and other international partners.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what the Government's policy is on the establishment of an independent international mechanism to investigate attacks using chemical weapons in Iraq.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what the Government's policy is on the establishment of an independent international mechanism to investigate attacks using chemical weapons in Iraq.
It is the responsibility of the Government of Iraq to investigate alleged use of chemical weapons on its territory. At Iraqi request, and in accordance with the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has provided assistance to the Iraqi authorities over the past two years to support their investigation into such allegations. We therefore judge there is no requirement for the establishment of any additional international mechanism to investigate attacks using chemical weapons in Iraq.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether UK armed forces in Iraq have made official video recordings of interrogations of Iraqi detainees.
UK Armed Forces currently deployed to Iraq under Op SHADER are not involved with the detention or interrogation of any Iraqi prisoners. As such, there is no requirement for UK Armed Forces to make any video recordings of any interrogations of Iraqi detainees.

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what plans her Department has to make British medical aid available to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
The UK funds the delivery of life-saving medical services in Iraq, including in the Kurdistan Region. This support is delivered through a number of partners including the Iraq Humanitarian Pooled Fund and the International Organisation for Migration. Through our response to the conflict in Mosul we are helping to alleviate the pressure on the Kurdistan Region’s medical services.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with the government of Iraq regarding the return of refugees from religious minorities to Iraq.
We engage regularly with the Government of Iraq at all levels on ensuring the safe return of refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), including those from religious and ethnic minorities. We are working with the Government of Iraq and local authorities to improve the situation on the ground so that it is safe for people to return. That includes clearing Daesh from all remaining territory and addressing the threat from Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what proportion of UK aid to refugee camps in Turkey, Jordan, and the Lebanon is focused on minority communities from Syria and Iraq.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what proportion of UK aid to refugee camps in Turkey, Jordan, and the Lebanon is focused on minority communities from Syria and Iraq.
The UK is at the forefront of the humanitarian response to the crises in this region. UK aid is helping people in desperate need inside Syria and Iraq, as well as supporting refugees in host countries in the region, and host countries to accommodate them. Our aid is distributed on the basis of need, to ensure civilians are not discriminated against on the grounds of race, religion, or ethnicity. We prioritise reaching the most vulnerable, which often includes minority communities. To avoid the risk of discrimination, information on the ethnicity and religion of those receiving UK aid is not sought or recorded. The vast majority of refugees in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon are hosted within communities, and are not in camps.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, following the withdrawal of the passport of Sufiyan Mustapha Hamza, whether they will withdraw passports from all other British jihadis currently in Iraq and Syria and fighting with ISIL or other terrorist forces.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, following the withdrawal of the passport of Sufiyan Mustapha Hamza, whether they will withdraw passports from all other British jihadis currently in Iraq and Syria and fighting with ISIL or other terrorist forces.
The Government does not routinely comment on individual cases.
However the Government has made its position on the withdrawal of passports on public interest grounds clear. In a Written Ministerial Statement on 25 April 2013 (Hansard Column 69WS) the Secretary of State for the Home Department set out the terms under which the Royal Prerogative will be exercised to refuse or withdraw passports under the public interest criteria. All such cases are assessed on their merits and consider the rights of the individual balanced against the public interest criteria.
The Government may also deprive individuals of their British citizenship if it is conducive to the public good to do so. As a consequence of this their access to passport facilities is also withdrawn.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the case for a British political, diplomatic and intelligence presence in north and north-east Syria to support the struggle against Daesh in Syria and Iraq.
The British Embassy in Damascus suspended all services in March 2012. Diplomatic personnel were withdrawn from Syria because of the deteriorating political and security situation. We continue to advise against all travel to Syria.
UK officials at the British Embassies in Beirut and Amman and the Consul General in Istanbul follow developments in Syria closely, as do staff in London. We meet a wide range of Syrian representatives, including from north-east Syria. As a leading member of the Global Coalition, we also work closely with coalition partners in the fight against Daesh, routinely consulting on all aspects of the campaign to defeat Daesh.
