SWIRMO allows participants to share views and experiences on the international legal framework applicable to modern military operations. It also provides participants with the tools necessary to integrate those laws into the most relevant aspects of their national doctrine, education, field training and military disciplinary systems, encouraging legally compliant behaviour across the entire spectrum of military operations.
It also seeks to ensure that International Humanitarian Law (IHL or the Law of Armed Conflict), which is the legal framework that protects those who are not or no longer participating in hostilities are implemented and that the principles governing the use of force in law enforcement operations are better integrated into military institutions.
