Business question from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 March 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we please have an urgent debate in Government time on the continuing crisis in Darfur? Given that foot-stamping by the Sudanese Government has effectively vetoed a vital United Nations troop deployment to Darfur, and given that, while the international community dithers and delays, Darfurians are dying in droves every day, is it not now time to decide whether the UN’s proclaimed responsibility to protect is a serious attempt to avert genocide, or simply a piece of vacuous moral posturing?
