Recommendation 12

12

UK has important role in supporting mechanisms for accountability of IHL breaches.

Conclusion
During an evidence session, the Minister was unclear about the extent of the application of approved approaches when it came to creative responses to the situation in Gaza. There are various mechanisms available at the international, regional and domestic levels for holding states and non-state actors to account for alleged breaches of IHL—breaches which include the killings of aid workers and unlawful blockades of humanitarian aid and assistance. The UK has an important role to play in supporting, funding and participating in these mechanisms. (Conclusion, Paragraph 32)
