Universal Jurisdiction (Extension) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would expand 'universal jurisdiction' giving UK courts the ability to prosecute serious international crimes (like war crimes or torture) that happen anywhere in the world. Currently, these powers are limited, so this bill would make them broader.

Presented by Brendan O'Hara.
