Because of the broad scope of the principles, we have had to rely on a wide range of sources in an effort to interpret UK policy and practice. To our knowledge, this is the first time that any state’s practice has been independently assessed against the ILC’s draft principles. The report follows the temporal approach that is utilised by the ILC, considering practice before, during, and after armed conflicts, and in situations of occupation. The report’s aim is threefold: firstly, to identify the UK’s position regarding each draft principle secondly, to trace potential discrepancies between the UK’s positions and the draft principles and thirdly, to provide recommendations that will enhance environmental protection throughout the conflict cycle. Underpinning our analysis are the 28 draft principles on this topic that have recently been adopted on first reading by the UN’s International Law Commission (ILC). This report outlines the UK’s practice on the protection of the environment in relation to armed conflicts, or PERAC.
