UNA-UK Chair hails victory for international justice on war crimes
UNA-UK welcomes the government's decision to close a legal loophole permitting those accused of war crimes or genocide to escape justice in their country. The Association had made formal representations to the government on this issue. UNA-UK Chair Lord Hannay called the move 'a victory for international justice and another blow to the culture of impunity for breaches of international humanitarian law'.
