Great. The draft Bill says that any international force needs to be for peacekeeping, conflict prevention or strengthening international security - I have a few questions about this - and to be "consistent with the principles of the United Nations Charter". Can Ms Maguire define what it means to strengthen international security, and who interprets that?
