Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 February 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka
I endorse what the Minister has said and welcome the strength of his call for a ceasefire. That said, if the Government of Sri Lanka are simply not prepared to listen to the international community's calls for a ceasefire, is it not time for some degree of sanctions, such as suspension from the Commonwealth or the suspension of military or trade agreements, to show that the rest of the world means business in trying to bring about peace in Sri Lanka?
