This respect is incorporated into military law through the UK Manual of the Law of Armed Conflict, our targeting policy, training, and in battle area evaluation and assessments. The Armed Forces must comply with the Rome Statute which makes intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, and historic monuments, provided they are not military objectives, a war crime.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 01/07/2015 15:52:13 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
