Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Richard Ottaway (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 16 May 2011 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Libya
- Question
- The Secretary of State is reported to have endorsed, over the weekend, General Richards's call for an enlargement of the number of targets in Libya to include infrastructure targets. Has he received a legal opinion that that conforms with resolution 1973?
- Answer
-
I confirmed over the weekend that NATO is continually reassessing the target sets within the targeting directive, which itself follows from resolution 1973. We believe that at all times the target-setting has been well within the requirements of that resolution, and I take responsibility for the setting, observation and implementation of targets very seriously indeed.
