UNIVERSAL JURISDICTION LEGISLATION

  • Session: 2009-10
  • Date tabled: 16.12.2009
  • Primary sponsor: Carswell, Douglas
  • Sponsors:

    That this House believes that current Universal Jurisdiction legislation is detrimental to Britain's foreign diplomatic relations; notes that the current legislation has allowed those with political agendas to exploit the legal system and that the current legislation undermines Britain's reputation as an effective venue for diplomacy; and in this context urges the Government to seek immediately an amendment to UK law, not to stifle meritorious complaints, but to ensure the important role Britain should play in the Middle East Peace Process can continue.
