Actions taken:

The Danish Military Manual was published in 2016 and contains provisions for the compliance of international humanitarian law and other relevant international law, including human rights law, in relation to both the planning and execution of military operations within the framework of Denmark’s military engagements abroad. The manual provides the Danish Defence with a comprehensive perspective for understanding their obligations under international law when Danish soldiers participate in international operations. The manual was translated into English in the spring of 2019 and has been made available online together with the Danish version. Danish Ministry of Defence and Defence Command Denmark personnel have presented the manual in various national as well as international fora. The military manual has been integrated into Denmark’s planning and execution of military operations. In addition, the military manual is now part of the training and education of Danish Armed Forces personnel.
