Proceeding contribution from Tony Lloyd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Japan and the Middle East.
Japan and the Middle East
The Prime Minister is right that the logic of a no-fly zone is to prevent aggression by Gaddafi against innocent people in Benghazi or elsewhere. Is that not exactly the same logic, though, of providing arms to those in opposition to Gaddafi—that it gives them the capacity to defend themselves against such aggression? What assessment does the Prime Minister make of the urgency with which the international community will now deal with the legal issue?
