The UK Ministry of Justice has announced a second tranche of support for the international criminal court’s investigations into war crimes inKarim Khan QC, the court’s chief prosecutor, will be in London on Monday to provide an update on the progress of the investigation. During this time, deputy prime minister Dominic Raab will present further support to the independent investigation on top of the £1m of funding provided earlier this year.
“Russian forces should know that they will be held to account for their actions and the global community will work together to ensure justice is served.” The referral by 39 countries shaved several months off the process because it allowed Khan to bypass the need to seek the approval of the court in The Hague.
