This Committee needs no reminding that Britain played a key role in establishing the international rules-based order as we know it after the end of the Second World War. We helped to forge the Geneva conventions and much of the law that deals with the horrors taking place in an escalated way in our times. It is time that we created consistency and took the opportunity we have heard about to do what other countries can do: when the right occasion arises, prosecute those who have committed grievous crimes.
