<p>The Government is reviewing its strategy on the Protection of Civilians in Armed
Conflict. It is committed to ensuring that the outcome of the review is fully consistent
with International Humanitarian Law, which does not draw distinctions between categories
of civilians. The Government's approach will benefit all civilians, with a clear understanding
of their diverse needs, and will reflect both the changing international landscape
and complexity of many modern conflicts. The review also provides an opportunity for
the Government to consider recent research by academics and Non-Governmental Organisations
in this important field.</p>
