Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has considered a derogation from the European Convention on Human Rights in the event of the deployment in Ukraine of a British (a) peacekeeping and (b) reassurance force.

The Government is leading detailed military planning, along with allies and partners, to develop potential security guarantees for Ukraine.

As longstanding practice over many decades, the UK complies fully with UK and international law whenever it conducts military operations at home or abroad. Our Armed Forces will always have out fullest support.
