The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what training is provided to UK armed forces by the International Committee of Red Cross on the laws governing armed conflict.

Answered by Al Carns

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) delivers training to the UK Armed Forces on the Law of Armed Conflict. The International Committee of the Red Cross does not deliver dedicated Law of Armed Conflict training to UK personnel but does provide inputs into multiple MOD training courses such as International Humanitarian Law and obligations of arms bearers.
