<p>The nature and scale of Defence Engagement with the countries mentioned in the
CAAT publication varies considerably according to the nature of the wider UK relationship
with these countries. Information on all forms of Defence Engagement is not held centrally
and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.</p><p>Our Defence Engagement
programmes, and particularly the Defence Education & Training we provide to foreign
nations, will stress the need to respect International Law and the importance of adhering
to international standards, for example with regard to human rights, human security,
transparency & corruption, and civilian oversight and control of the Armed Forces.</p><p>All
Defence Engagement is informed by an assessment of the potential impact of providing
assistance on risks relating to human rights and International Humanitarian Law.</p>
