The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will make representations to his new US counterpart in January 2025 on potential steps to help implement the arrest warrant for President Putin of Russia issued by International Criminal Court judges in March 2023.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

We encourage all countries to co-operate with the International Criminal Court (ICC). The UK is fully committed to holding Russia to account for its illegal and barbaric actions in Ukraine, and has provided support to the ICC to assist its work, including the investigation into the situation in Ukraine. The Foreign Secretary looks forward to working with the Trump Administration in the months and years ahead in the spirit of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise. American leadership will remain crucial to the global challenges that all our nations face.
