<p>The coalition goal is to liberate Mosul by expelling Daesh in a way that minimises
the humanitarian impact, civilian casualties and human rights abuses and violations.
We have spoken to Coalition partners, including the US and the Government of Iraq
and Kurdistan Regional Government, and have made clear that forces taking Mosul need
to respect human rights and laws of armed conflict. All training provided by the UK
includes Law of Armed Conflict training and an awareness of human rights.</p><p>Ultimately
the forces used will be determined by the Government of Iraq and Kurdistan Regional
Government. The Coalition however will not support units which it has concerns about,
including certain Shia militia units.</p>
