Any deployment of our troops will be fully in line with this. There seems to be an idea on the part of the general public that if we disband or remove the triple lock, our young people will be deployed overseas into war-like situations. That view has been expressed to me, and not just in emails. To be very clear, if the triple lock is removed, any missions our troops partake in will be fully in accordance with international law. If it is a peacekeeping role, the mission will be with the agreement of all the parties involved with us. If it is an enforcement role, while that may change the situation slightly, it will still be in accordance with the strictest aspects of international law. Is that correct?
