Military Operations: International Law
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he takes to ensure that military operations conducted from facilities in the UK are compliant with international law.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
UK military operations are conducted in accordance with International Humanitarian Law. Military personnel are bound by the laws of England and Wales for their actions under the Armed Forces Act 2006. All decisions on whether to approve foreign nations’ use of military bases in the UK for operational purposes consider the legal basis for any proposed activity.
