answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/07/2020 answer text <p>As explained by the International Trade Secretary on 7 July 2020, all of the allegations recorded on the Tracker have been subject to detailed analysis by reference to the relevant principles of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and in the light of all the information and intelligence available. An evaluation has then been made, in respect of each incident, whether it is possible that it constitutes a breach of IHL or whether it is unlikely that it represents a breach. The assessment of whether it is possible that an incident constituted a breach of IHL uses all available sources of information, including some that are necessarily confidential and sensitive. We are therefore not able to go into the details of individual assessments.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 28/07/2020 14:20:12 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie
