Royal College of Defence Studies: Overseas Students
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which nations have been subject to a ban on personnel attending the Royal College of Defence Studies; and when those bans were put in place.
Answered by Al Carns
Any decision to provide professional military education or training to a partner nation is made on a case-by-case basis and is underpinned by a robust assessment as to the benefits, risks, and compliance with international human rights law. In the interests of national security and upholding trust and confidentiality in our international partnerships, it is not appropriate for the Government to comment on the provision of training to individual countries.
