Committee on Defence and National Security

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

2:00 am

Mr. Joe Noonan:

Yes, it is. It is practicable in the sense that clearly, as we have seen over Gaza, huge numbers of members of the General Assembly can agree on resolutions and trivial numbers disagree. When we are coming to a decision to send troops overseas, we have to have that level, practically, of global consensus before we do it. That makes sense to me and it is grounded, as I said, in the legislation.
