Proceeding contribution from Clare Short (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 21 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill.
Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill
Just for the record, there was a UN operation in Rwanda, and the UK position at the Security Council was that the situation there was not genocide—the word was not used. The British Government’s policy at that time was to call for a reduction in the size of the UN mission.
