6.1 The UK will continue to be a leading voice in upholding and defending the rule of law, democracy, global free trade and human rights. We will continue to call out serious breaches of international norms. The Magnitsky sanctions regime showcases our commitment to the international system and the values that underpin it, and to standing up for victims of human rights violations and abuses around the world. Support for international criminal justice and accountability is a fundamental element of our foreign policy. For example, we continue to support the work of the International Criminal Court and the international tribunals to tackle impunity for the most serious crimes. We will continue to draw on the expertise and capabilities of the FCDO’s lawyers to support work that helps to strengthen the rules-based international system, reduce conflict and promote stability.
