UK MPs question government’s stance on ICC warrants

The Independent Alliance, a group of five independent MPS in the UK Parliament, has written to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, seeking clarity on whether the UK will fulfil its obligations concerning the recent ICC arrest warrants.

“Today’s historic decision by the ICC is the first step toward justice, accountability, and peace. As a signatory to the ICC, the UK has an obligation to uphold the rulings,” the lawmakers said in their letter.

“There is no ambiguity here: the UK’s continued supply of arms to Israel means the government is aiding and abetting war crimes. When will the government honour its obligations under the Geneva Convention to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?”
