UN SECURITY COUNCIL AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT

Early day motion 784, tabled 11 February 2009 by Paul Rowen (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 43 members.

That this House is disappointed that the Government has not requested the Security Council of the UN to refer allegations of war crimes to the International Criminal Court; notes that both the UN Secretary General and Israel have agreed to undertake inquiries but is concerned that Israel has not ratified the Rome Statute and believes that without reference to the International Criminal Court it is unlikely that anyone will be indicted for war crimes.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 30, Labour 10, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3.
