Committee on Defence and National Security

General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025 : Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Dr. Edward Burke:

With regard to peacekeeping, the bulk of our commitment, particularly our major commitment, is UNIFIL. There is KFOR, for example, where we have a small presence in Kosovo, which is our PfP-led mission. There is more scope there potentially for KFOR to intervene to enforce the peace, if necessary, for example, if there is an outbreak of violence in Kosovo. That mandate is a little bit more flexible.
