Clause 1 - The ICC and the ICC Statute
International Criminal Court Bill [Lords]
4:30 pm
Mrs Louise Ellman (Liverpool, Riverside, Labour/Co-operative)
Rather than referring to the matter that has just been mentioned, I was asking whether, in principle, the Minister considers that a successful prosecution could follow a single act in relation to an occupying power voluntarily bringing some of its population into an area, without any reference to what they might do. I was seeking the Minister's view in the context of the horrendous nature of the offences that are to be heard under the International Criminal Court such as extermination, use of biological means and scientific experiments on people.
