Feb 10, 2021 Principle #3 – Assume variability; preserve options. Solution development is an inherently uncertain process. Technical variability and market variability are present throughout the development process. Innovative new systems have, by definition, never been developed before, so there is no guaranteed path to success. Principle 3 The Right to recognition before the law Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law. Persons of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities shall enjoy legal capacity in all aspects of life. The SRA Principles comprise the fundamental tenets of ethical behaviour that we expect all those that we regulate to uphold. This includes all individuals we authorise to provide legal services (solicitors, RELs and RFLs), as well as authorised firms and their managers and employees.
The largest update yet
Send Events Between Component and Parent
Principle 3 adds the ability to route events from a component to its parent, or from the parent into a component. You can even have one component trigger animations in another component. When creating an event, simply hover over a component or the 'send to parent' button to send the event there. Learn more
Color Drivers
Drivers can now drive fill color, stroke color, and shadow color. Cool.
Lockable layers
Whew. There it is. This works how you expect, with two nice touches. First, the mouse cursor will have a lock icon beside it when hovering over a locked layer to remind you that clicking there may not select the layer you expect. Second, selecting a locked layer via the layer list allows editing it like normal; we found this makes it really nice to make a quick change without having to unlock and re-lock. We added the ability to right click on the canvas and select layers via a menu to make it easier to select locked layers without having to find it in the layer list. Learn more
Improvements to Sketch Import
We put a lot of work into Sketch import for this release. Principle can now import symbols with overrides. Principle's import dialog now has the option to only import Sketch's selected artboards. We added import support for flipped and blurred layers. Reimport is also much improved: the ordering of your Sketch and Principle layers are maintained during reimport; additionally, scroll settings and scroll group's sizes are merged instead of overwritten.
Animation Preview
Editing an animation immediately plays it in the preview. Really handy.
Image Export
If you've ever needed to send images of your designs to the rest of your team, you're in luck. Just select some layers and click File > 'Export Images of Selected Layers' and Principle will render high quality PNGs of each layer. Learn more
Touchable Layers
Starting in Principle 3.0, layers without events or interactions will allow touches to pass through to layers behind them. This is nice for creating visual overlay layers, and groups that contain layers spread across the canvas. For situations when you want to prevent touches from passing through a layer, you can manually mark the layer as touchable. Learn more Os cleaner 3 1 2.
Copying a Layer Copies its' Events
Duplicating or copying and pasting a layer will also copy its events. This is great for when you have something like tab bar layers that you want to paste on each artboard and maintain the events on each tab.
Much More
Those are only the biggest changes. There are many more small changes, fixes and improvements that will make working in Principle feel even better. For example: the color picker's hex field is now initially selected so you can easily copy and paste hex values. You can see the full list of changes on the change log.
How to get it
If you already have Principle, you can go to the Principle menu then click 'Check for Updates'. If that is grayed out, just restart Principle and you'll be running the newest version. Or can download it manually. Since Principle licenses include one year of free updates, you may need to purchase a new license to use 3.0 if you purchased Principle more than a year ago.

These three principles are inter-related and mutually reinforcing:
- Consent of the parties
- Impartiality
- Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence of the mandate
1. Consent of the parties
UN peacekeeping operations are deployed with the consent of the main parties to the conflict. This requires a commitment by the parties to a political process. Their acceptance of a peacekeeping operation provides the UN with the necessary freedom of action, both political and physical, to carry out its mandated tasks.
In the absence of such consent, a peacekeeping operation risks becoming a party to the conflict; and being drawn towards enforcement action, and away from its fundamental role of keeping the peace.
The fact that the main parties have given their consent to the deployment of a United Nations peacekeeping operation does not necessarily imply or guarantee that there will also be consent at the local level, particularly if the main parties are internally divided or have weak command and control systems. Universality of consent becomes even less probable in volatile settings, characterized by the presence of armed groups not under the control of any of the parties, or by the presence of other spoilers.
2. Impartiality
Impartiality is crucial to maintaining the consent and cooperation of the main parties, but should not be confused with neutrality or inactivity. United Nations peacekeepers should be impartial in their dealings with the parties to the conflict, but not neutral in the execution of their mandate.
Principle 3 10 Rule
Just as a good referee is impartial, but will penalize infractions, so a peacekeeping operation should not condone actions by the parties that violate the undertakings of the peace process or the international norms and principles that a United Nations peacekeeping operation upholds.
Notwithstanding the need to establish and maintain good relations with the parties, a peacekeeping operation must scrupulously avoid activities that might compromise its image of impartiality. A mission should not shy away from a rigorous application of the principle of impartiality for fear of misinterpretation or retaliation.
Failure to do so may undermine the peacekeeping operation's credibility and legitimacy, and may lead to a withdrawal of consent for its presence by one or more of the parties.
3. Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence of the mandate
UN peacekeeping operations are not an enforcement tool. However, they may use force at the tactical level, with the authorization of the Security Council, if acting in self-defence and defence of the mandate.

3. Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence of the mandate
UN peacekeeping operations are not an enforcement tool. However, they may use force at the tactical level, with the authorization of the Security Council, if acting in self-defence and defence of the mandate.
In certain volatile situations, the Security Council has given UN peacekeeping operations 'robust' mandates authorizing them to 'use all necessary means' to deter forceful attempts to disrupt the political process, protect civilians under imminent threat of physical attack, and/or assist the national authorities in maintaining law and order.
Although on the ground they may sometimes appear similar, robust peacekeeping should not be confused with peace enforcement, as envisaged under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter.
- Robust peacekeeping involves the use of force at the tactical level with the authorization of the Security Council and consent of the host nation and/or the main parties to the conflict.
- By contrast, peace enforcement does not require the consent of the main parties and may involve the use of military force at the strategic or international level, which is normally prohibited for Member States under Article 2(4) of the Charter, unless authorized by the Security Council.
Principle 3 10th
A UN peacekeeping operation should only use force as a measure of last resort. It should always be calibrated in a precise, proportional and appropriate manner, within the principle of the minimum force necessary to achieve the desired effect, while sustaining consent for the mission and its mandate. The use of force by a UN peacekeeping operation always has political implications and can often give rise to unforeseen circumstances.
Judgments concerning its use need to be made at the appropriate level within a mission, based on a combination of factors including mission capability; public perceptions; humanitarian impact; force protection; safety and security of personnel; and, most importantly, the effect that such action will have on national and local consent for the mission.
