go and fight the conservative party now wants that unequivocal support to extend to the actions of soldiers in more controversial conflicts. it's widely expected that in the coming days the conservatives will include in their election manifesto the pledge to protect by amnesty all british soldiers who fought in northern ireland during the conflict there including those already accused of crimes the newly appointed veterans minister in boris johnson's last government said as much on twitter suggesting the new law of armed conflict with a plan the battlefield and would override the human rights acts to protect soldiers past and presence from prosecution the implications are politically volatile one former soldier has already been charged and is awaiting trial over the killing of civilians on bloody sunday in northern ireland in 1972 with his case be dropped under the new law that would be explosive in republican parts of the province

already deeply unhappy over the bracks it's i think a lot of these things will depend a political reality on where he sits on the political spectrum possibly you know are in this in play politically for all sorts of things but like a blanket amnesty is it you know it's a major precedent because certainly votes of the new law would also provide blanket legal cover for any party soldier accused of a war crime or a human rights violation in any recent conflict in the middle east or afghanistan. would have been soldiers found guilty of torture being let off and as well as protecting rank and file soldiers but also give cover to more senior officers who gave illegal orders i would say that prime issue with all of this. it's that their attempts to prevent those higher up those with the greatest chance facie from being looked at the law is aimed directly at traditional

conservative so you think the british military has to obey far too many laws while enemies like i still and al-qaeda don't follow any rules at all but for all that there are concerns that soldiers already accused of serious offenses might simply be let off and also how exactly military commanders will interpret the new law on the battlefields of future wars. support for military veteran space fund raising job opportunities better mental health care are normally uncontroversial and are widely backed by the british public blanket protection from prosecution and abuse of power written into law may prove slightly more difficult to argue for largely al-jazeera london. to the democratic republic of congo now where political security and cultural complications have made it difficult for health workers to contain any break so doctors are getting help from local leaders in
