Conclusion
We have significant concerns that the presumption against prosecution runs the risk of contravening the UK’s international legal obligations under international humanitarian law (the law of armed conflict) and international human rights law. In particular, it risks contravening the UK’s obligations under the UN Convention Against Torture, the Geneva Conventions, the Rome Statute and international customary law.
