International Peace Missions Deployment Bill 2003

Public bill · Private Member · Presented

The proposal would change Ireland’s rules for sending Defence Forces personnel abroad on peace missions. Dáil approval would still be required, but a formal UN Security Council resolution would no longer be necessary, provided the mission followed the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. It would also define these missions in defence legislation and ensure all enlisted Defence Forces members could serve in them.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to authorise, subject to the prior approval of Dáil Éireann, the despatch of contingents of the Permanent Defence Forces for service outside the State with International Peace Missions established for the performance of peace duties, and for that purpose to amend the Defence (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1960 and the Defence Act 1954
