Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 February 2026
Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
I would like to give the Committee some examples, if I may. Where justice cannot be delivered in the places where crimes were perpetrated, the UK must step up. The ICC cannot provide accountability for international crimes alone. Complementarity means capable national courts must share the burden—and I will return to that point. These amendments would demonstrate to victims and to survivors, especially those now resident in the United Kingdom, that their suffering and the terrible things that they have experienced are not ignored and have not been forgotten.
