British campaign aims to bring Isil to justice

Boris Johnson will join Amal Clooney at a high-level event at the United Nations tomorrow to launch a British-led campaign to bring Isil to justice.

The Foreign Secretary and the human rights lawyer will help introduce an initiative to begin gathering evidence about the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’s “abhorrent crimes” so its members can be held to account internationally.

At the UN General Assembly in New York, they will urge world governments, non-governmental organisations and other groups to join the campaign for justice for the victims of the terrorist group.
