answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2016 answer text <p>The intention of the Safe Schools Declaration is for countries to support the Guidelines for Protecting Schools and Universities from Military use During Armed Conflict.</p><p>While we welcome the spirit of the initiative, we have concerns that the Guidelines do not mirror the exact language and content of International Humanitarian Law. We consider that the full implementation of International Humanitarian Law provides the best protection for civilians in all situations of armed conflict. The UK, along with the US, France, Australia and other countries, were therefore not able to sign the Safe Schools Declaration in Oslo in May 2015.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 01/02/2016 15:08:21 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
