Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 May 2011. It occurred during Urgent question on Libya.


Libya

Like many others, I am very concerned about the kind of massive air raid that took place last night, which will inevitably cause civilian casualties, although I entirely accept that the Gaddafi regime will try to make as much propaganda of it as possible. Is the Minister aware that there is an increasing feeling that, despite denials, resolution 1973 is being used for regime change? I emphasise again that regime change is totally outside international law.
