Proceeding contribution from Dai Havard (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973.


United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973

The legal advice summary, which I have only just seen—we have not seen the whole thing—clearly excludes"““a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory””" but also says that the resolution"““further authorises Member States to use all measures…to carry out inspections aimed at the enforcement of the arms embargo””." Does that mean that on the one hand we cannot have troops on the ground, but on the other hand we might allow people to make inspections or go there for search and rescue purposes? Is there clarity about having no troops on the ground in Libya?
