The UK played a leading role in the establishment of the UN Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Daesh (UNITAD) and remains committed to securing justice for survivors of Daesh crimes following UNITAD's closure. The UK paid its share of the UNITAD operating expenses on the UN budget. The UK continues to work with the Governments of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, alongside international partners, to help ensure that Daesh members are held accountable for the crimes they have committed. The UK also continues to support survivor-centred implementation of the Yazidi Survivors' Law (2021).

I refer the Hon Member to my written statement to the House on 29 April (HWCS1552). We are working closely with the Syrian and Iraqi Governments, as well as our US and European partners, to protect our shared national security interests and ensure Daesh's territorial defeat endures.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 3 June 2026 to question 3166 on Repatriation: Syria, for what reason her Department does not record information on returning foreign fighters who have been a) arrested and b) prosecuted.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 3 June 2026 to question 3166 on Repatriation: Syria, for what reason her Department does not record information on returning foreign fighters who have been a) arrested and b) prosecuted.
Arrests and prosecutions are matters for the independent police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Where these relate to terrorism offences, the CPS provides relevant data to the Home Office for quarterly publication. This forms part of the official statistics publication on the Operation of Police Powers under the Terrorism Acts, which are published quarterly on gov.uk.
In 2023, the CPS’s oral evidence to the Joint Committee on Human Rights explained why they are unable to collect specific data on returning foreign fighters. The main reason for this was that the definition of a returning foreign fighter encompasses many variables, which can make it challenging to provide accurate data. For example, people may return via a third country or non-conflict zone, or may be convicted of offences before or after their travel.
Anyone who seeks to return from taking part in any conflict should expect to be investigated by the police where they are suspected of a crime and, where there is evidence that a crime has been committed, prosecuted.
