Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 18 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on UN Security Council Resolution (Libya).


UN Security Council Resolution (Libya)

Abuses of human rights and the oppression of civilians are not unique to Libya. They may differ in degree, but they are not unique. Is the Prime Minister now suggesting that we should develop a foreign policy that would be prepared to countenance intervention in other countries where there are attacks on civilians, such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman or Bahrain? I hope that he has thought this whole thing through, because we may well be involved in a civil war in Libya for some time to come.
