Details

The UK National Committee on International Humanitarian Law commissioned this Voluntary Report. It reflects the UK government’s commitment to fully comply with and implement International Humanitarian Law (IHL). The UK government is proud of its strong record in complying with and implementing IHL.

By publishing examples of how we implement IHL, the UK government aims to help improve understanding and inform dialogue in the UK and abroad. The UK government hopes the Voluntary Report will encourage other States to publish details of their implementation activities, help identify best practice and ultimately improve compliance with and implementation of IHL.
