Debate

Armed Forces Bill

Contribution

We have the law of armed conflict, and that is the right framework for conduct in operations, not the European convention on human rights. I would like us to leave the convention altogether. That is not going to happen with this Bill, but it would be very good if the Minister could comment on the appropriateness of the derogation, as proposed by the official Opposition.
