Other titles:
Summary: Parts Three and Four of an Army Instructional film presented by Lieutenant-Colonel C D Farrar-Hockley, meant to confirm certain principles to the legal use of force. The film uses four practical examples of problems likely to be faced by soldiers on the ground, each of which raises specific legal questions for students to discuss. The third is based on a 1971 incident in Northern Ireland in which three terrorists were shot by soldiers as they attempted to attack a bank, and the fourth centres on the legal position of British forces deployed to assist in counter-insurgency operations in an independent African nation.
