The point about the principles of the UN Charter is significant. It means Article 2 rather than the UN Charter as a whole. Ms Maguire said earlier it is about peacekeeping. Is she saying that the UN Charter does then not cover anything? We are not bound by the UN Charter, if we are sending troops for "strengthening international security"?
