I think this matter is very plain. Australian forces when deployed on operations go through an extensive force preparation process and obviously there is a critically important series of planning and logistical processes around that. In all of that work, as has always been the case, those operations are required to conform with Australia's national and international treaty obligations. So the planning of future operations involving ADF personnel would, as a matter of course, consider our treaty obligations under this convention.
