The UK military training and assistance to the Armed Forces of Nigeria has consistently emphasised the importance of adherence to internationally recognised Rules of Engagement, as well as the importance of International Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law. We have also made clear to the Nigerian authorities the importance of protecting civilians in conflict and detention, and that human rights standards must be upheld.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to monitor the situation in Nigeria, and regularly assess the risks associated with the delivery of UK military assistance in line with the UK's Overseas Security and Justice Assistance guidance.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 06/06/2018 17:01:25 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>In respect of Northern Ireland, the Government believes that the institutions proposed in the 2014 Stormont House Agreement are the best way to ensure a fair, balanced and proportionate approach to addressing the legacy of the past. The Northern Ireland Office (NIO) is currently consulting on how the Stormont House Agreement could be implemented. In recognition of the fact that others - such as the House of Commons Defence Committee - support different ways forward such as the creation of a statute of limitations, the NIO consultation includes an open question to allow those views to be expressed. The Government will consider all responses to the consultation before deciding on next steps.</p><p>In respect of Iraq, the Iraq Historical Allegations Team was closed in June 2017 and its remaining caseload passed to the service police, who expect their investigations to be substantially complete around the end of 2018.</p><p>On Afghanistan, Operation Northmoor has completed over 95% of its caseload. Investigations are expected to be concluded by the end of 2018.</p><p>The Ministry of Defence is not aware of any historic criminal investigations in respect of events in the Falklands or other combat theatres.</p> answering member constituency South Staffordshire answering member printed Gavin Williamson question first answered 11/06/2018 15:11:56 answering member 4108 label Biography information for Sir Gavin Williamson
