Proceeding contribution from Richard Foord (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 September 2025. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East.
Middle East
In May the Government revealed in court that they, the Executive, had made recent assessments of the risk of breaches of international humanitarian law in Gaza. I say breaches, but the Government revealed that they had found only one possible breach of IHL among tens of thousands of airstrikes in Gaza across 11 months. Surely this proves that the FCDO does not have the capacity to properly assess all the possible breaches of IHL in Gaza.
