Episode Synopsis

Anshita Sethi and Ishika Mittal from Jindal Global Law School, explore the UK Overseas Operations Bill and the implicit license it confers to commit torture – given that the Bill confers protection for UK soldiers from being prosecuted and effectively acts as a statute of limitations. They analyse the duty to prosecute and the UK's obligations thereunder, along with the wider implications associated with the Bill (including the several potential violations of human rights treaties).
