- All-Party Parliamentary Group on Modern ConflictSubject Group
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.
