uin	2984
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2017 answer text <p>The RAF's targeting process is rigorous: the protection of civilians is at its heart. Commanders constantly weigh the arguments for and against strikes in their consideration of whether or not to give permission. Parameters are set in advance of each planned strike to minimise the risk of collateral damage. UK aircrews always operate in accordance with International Humanitarian Law, the Law of Armed Conflict and under strict Rules of Engagement. Our pilots can - and do - decide, right up to the last minute, NOT to strike if they have any reason to believe there is a risk of causing civilian casualties.</p><p>There is no evidence from the operations so far - either from our own detailed assessments which take place after every strike, or from the information provided to us by third parties - that any RAF airstrikes have caused civilian casualties.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster grouped question UIN 2988 question first answered 10/07/2017 16:39:21 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

In accordance with the law of armed conflict, white phosphorus rounds are used for screening, obscuring, and marking in a way that fully considers the possible incidental effects on civilians and civilian structures.

tabling member constituency	Wirral South

uin	2987
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2017 answer text <p>The protection of civilians is a priority for the UK, and we will continue to work closely with the US and other partners to that end. We have provided significant support to humanitarian planning for Raqqah operations. This has included involvement in the Coalition's civil-military planning process and detailed engagement with the UN and agencies.</p><p>Arranging the safe passage of civilians to areas of safety hinges entirely on the goodwill of parties to the conflict. UK aid does not currently go to Daesh-held areas because Daesh are blocking humanitarian access. In areas of the Raqqah Governorate liberated from Daesh, DFID-funded partners are supporting the displaced with food, shelter, healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene assistance.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 10/07/2017 16:44:21 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
