Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 May 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka
The responsibility to protect is legally established and morally incontestable, so the Sri Lankan Government need to be clear about that. May I say to the hon. Gentleman in case this was not clear, although the point was made very powerfully by the hon. Member for Hayes and Harlington (John McDonnell), that allegations of war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide must be investigated whenever? There can be no question of any amnesty for the Sri Lankan Government, at any time, from consideration of allegations of that kind.
