Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya and the Middle East.
Libya and the Middle East
My hon. Friend makes an extremely good point. When Britain—and it was Britain—drafted the text of this resolution, the advice I was given suggested that it would take days or possibly weeks to get through the UN Security Council. It is remarkable that the Security Council has adopted this resolution unanimously with no votes against and that all countries—without naming them—backed it. It is a very positive sign, which I hope means that when we come forward with fresh Security Council resolutions to tighten further the screw on this dreadful regime, we will gain similar support.
