Our delegation would like to submit that India is not a party to [AP I]. There is no consonance between the list of countries who are party to [AP I] and the High Contracting Parties of the CCW. However, our delegation also submits that we may support legal reviews in [LAWS], as decided by national legislation and may share only as possible and as required based on security and confidentiality considerations. Our delegation also supports the view that ethical considerations must form part of legal reviews, and is highly possible to do so.
