# The UK Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights says over 400 people who fought for ISIS in Syria and Iraq are believed to have returned to the UK, without being prosecuted. ISIS was responsible for widespread campaigns of terror, murder and rape often targeted against minority religious groups. The committee says the courts face a barrier to exercising justice on war crimes and genocide, as it’s not possible to prosecute people for these crimes unless they are UK nationals, residents, or subject to service personnel laws.
