Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Geneva Conventions and United Nations Personnel (Protocols) Bill [Lords].
Geneva Conventions and United Nations Personnel (Protocols) Bill [Lords]
To what extent has my hon. Friend had regard, in making his argument, to the preamble to schedule 7 to the Geneva Conventions Act 1957, which is inserted by the schedule to the Bill? That preamble emphasises"““that the distinctive emblems are not intended to have any religious, ethnic, racial, regional or political significance””." Any country that signs up to the protocol will have to accept that preamble.
