Proceeding contribution from Lord Craig of Radley (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 24 July 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.
Armed Forces Bill
The word that I stumbled over when I read this amendment was ““prove””. The amendment says that the defendant has to prove that whatever he was doing was ““illegal under international law””. That really seems an impossible operation for a defendant. I am not sure what the international law would be that he was trying to prove was involved. So I am afraid that I cannot support the amendment.
