Do not take my word for it; ask the victims. Ask Yazidis whether they saw justice for the horrific crimes committed by ISIS in Iraq or Syria, which the JCHR has documented. Ask Tigrayans whether they have seen any justice after the Tigray war, in which they were subjected to ethnic targeting and sexual violence, which, despite being methods of genocide, are both crimes that cannot currently be investigated in this country as the perpetrators are not UK citizens or residents, and yet they are free to travel to the UK. Ask the Darfurians where the justice was after the 2003-05 genocide, or after the atrocities since 2023 and which continue to this day. Ask the Iranians who have seen loved ones slaughtered by the thousands. In 2022, the Government organised a ministerial session on PSVI—preventing sexual violence in conflict. There was not a single session where the issue of impunity was not raised by the victims.
