Committee on Defence and National Security

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

2:00 am

Mr. Declan Power:

Going back to "responsibility to protect", which is a real thing, that is something that may end up being done at some point by regional security organisations with UN assent in some shape or form.
