HC Deb 14 April 1993 vol 222 c571W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what training is given to Her Majesty's forces about war crimes.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The Army's common military syllabus, the basis of all initial training, contains a module on the law of armed conflict, part of which embodies the correct treatment of prisoners of war.

In addition, individual and collective training, prior to relevant operations, highlights instruction in the law of armed conflict, the Geneva convention and the rules of engagement specific to the operation in question.
