Committee on Defence and National Security
General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Stephen Kelly:
Regional deployments can be permitted under the UN Charter but not always. For example, in 1999, NATO's attack on Yugoslavia was not authorised by the United Nations, so it depends on the facts. We have no problem in principle with regional deployments taking place where they are approved by the UN.
I will hand over to Ms Ní Bhriain.
