<p>The Government's policy is to defend the UK and its citizens against threats to
their security. In implementing that policy the Government may draw on a wide range
of tools, including, <em>in extremis</em>, the use of military force to remove such
threats when there is no other effective option. If the Government does resort to
the use of military force then it will act in accordance with the requirements of
applicable international law and we expect others to do likewise. This applies equally
to Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems or 'drones' as it does to any other military asset
or weapon. All UK weapon systems are reviewed to ensure their compliance with international
law.</p>
