We welcome the paragraphs in this section. In particular, we support the inclusion of the paragraph on legal reviews, as well as the language in your additional suggestions, which aligns with existing IHL language in Article 36 of Additional Protocol I. We also echo the remarks made by Pakistan and the UAE on the importance of retaining paragraph 39, which helps ensure that legal reviews continue to serve the purpose for which they were designed, including in addressing the challenges posed by new technologies.
