Lord Astor of Hever

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress has been made in standardising rules of engagement among coalition partners in Afghanistan. [HL4227]

The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence
(Lord Drayson)

All NATO forces operate under agreed rules of engagement (ROE) but will have their own national ROEs that may contain specific caveats or restrictions on their actions. It is UK policy not to go into detail on our ROEs.
