In paragraph 38, it is suggested that the modification is being reviewed for compliance with IHL, as opposed to the impact of the modification on the system’s ability to be used for compliance with IHL. It is also clear that the preceding subparagraph reflects article 36 language in relation to employment and whether this would be prohibited by international law. And yet again, there’s an inconsistency between the two paragraphs with subparagraph (b) specifically looking at the modifications ability to be used in IHL.
