Military personnel, wherever they are serving, would be expected to report any concerns about possible violations of international humanitarian law through submissions to their chain of command.

We expect any UK-contractors providing support under the Saudi Armed Forces Projects who might witness or otherwise receive information on violations of international humanitarian law to report it through their companies.
