<p>The UK's policy on using force overseas is clear. It will always be in line with
international law and UK law, and bounded by UK rules of engagement, targeting directives
and operational directives. The same law, policy and rigorous targeting process are
adhered to whether the weapons platform is an armed Remotely Piloted Air System or
a piloted aircraft. We have, and we will, exercise an inherent right to self-defence
against both armed attacks and imminent threats of armed attack, in accordance with
international law.</p>
