Proceeding contribution from Neil Gerrard (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 July 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on International Affairs.

International Affairs

If we are asking the Lebanese Government to implement UN Security Council resolution 1559 and we expect them to do things that the UN Security Council has asked, should we not make equivalent demands on the Government of Israel, who have ignored Security Council resolutions for years? If we are trying to have a balanced approach to this problem, it is false to equate the actions of an organisation such as Hezbollah with those of a state; one expects completely different standards of behaviour from a state that is a member of the United Nations.
