The APPG is an interest group for parliamentarians considering the capabilities and commitments driving contemporary warfare. Our work advances discussion and policy-making regarding protection considerations, technology, covert operations, and other issues which are outpacing conventional oversight mechanisms in the context of modern conflict.
Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
