Lord Alton, head of the Joint Committee on Human Rights, said ministers cannot 'wash their hands' of crimes because they happened overseas.
The committee said the Government has to make sure the jihadis are put on trial in the UK.
Lord Alton said: 'We know that British nationals committed the most horrendous crimes in Iraq and Syria under the Daesh [IS] regime and we have a duty to see them brought to justice.
'We want to see more action from the Government in identifying the perpetrators, some of whom may have returned to Britain, others likely detained in camps in Syria.'

Eerie 5 words man at centre of new Maddie McCann theory 'was overheard saying'
A British man has been thrust into the spotlight with a shocking new theory about Madeleine McCann's vanishing, after he was allegedly overheard uttering five spine-chilling words. Reports today claim that German prosecutors have turned down a probe into a couple suspected of accidentally hitting Madeleine during a drink-driving incident. The Portuguese paper Correio da Manhã reports that Portuguese officials pressed for action following a harrowing tip from a British woman who suspected her brother and his German partner might be concealing the truth about Madeleine's fate. She expressed to the police her concern that her brother might be hiding a dark secret. Portuguese detectives requested permission from German authorities to send in an undercover officer with a false identity to cosy up to the wife, who is thought to have been driving the car that supposedly hit Madeleine. However, it's reported that the Germans knocked back the request. The tabloid disclosed that the British sister of the man at the heart of this latest theory alerted UK police back in 2018. "German prosecutors were asked to authorise a covert police operation with someone posing as a friend of the woman's and trying to get her to confess, but the courts refused," the newspaper stated, reports the Mirror. "It was decided to continue solely with the investigation into suspect Christian Brueckner, rejecting other possibilities." The newspaper Correio da Manha has cast suspicion over a mystery couple, describing the British man and his wife as "alcoholics". The report places the wife in a café near the Ocean Club where she'd been "drinking" on the night Madeleine McCann vanished from the Algarve resort. Additionally, Correio da Manha cites another witness, said to be the couple's neighbour, who told police she overheard them arguing the following day, with the man shouting: "Why did you bring her?". Portuguese authorities allege their efforts were rebuffed by the German police when they suggested the woman could have driven home "drunk" with Madeleine after a possible accident. Sadly, the British man identified in the claims has since passed away, with no word on whether his German partner is still living. Correio da Manha's headline story stated today: "The German police refused to co-operate with Portugal's Policia Judiciaria in the investigation of a clue that pointed towards Madeleine McCann being run over." Furthermore, the paper details how in 2018, a British woman approached UK police suspecting her brother's involvement in young Madeleine's disappearance, mentioning he was an alcoholic who seemed tormented by a heavy secret post the child's disappearance. "When British police exchanged information with the PJ, a coincidence was discovered. On 4 May 2007 a woman told police she had heard her neighbours arguing. They were both alcoholics, he was English and she was German, and she heard the man shouting repeatedly: 'Why did you bring her?'. "The neighbour discovered afterwards it was the man whose sister had reported him to police and was married to the woman who had been drinking in a café next to the Ocean Club where little Madeleine was staying with her parents and twin siblings. "Another report the police had indicated that in an identical car to the one the woman was then using, around the time of Madeleine's disappearance, a female and little girl had been seen inside. The PJ concluded she could have run Madeleine over and panicked." The newspaper also claimed the mystery British man had always "refused to tell his sister if he had been involved in Madeleine's death" before she alerted the authorities. Portuguese police are yet to respond to the Correio da Manha newspaper report. German police yesterday wrapped up a three-day search on the ground near prime suspect Christian Brueckner's old cottage home close to Praia da Luz where Madeleine disappeared on 3 May, 2007.
