The UK legal framework applicable to international crimes is inconsistent. Whilst it is possible to prosecute individuals for torture and grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions committed abroad, it is not possible to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, or other war crimes committed abroad, unless the individuals are UK nationals, UK residents, or subject to service personnel laws. This creates a key barrier to the exercise of the principle of universal jurisdiction in the UK. (Conclusion, Paragraph 50)
