Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Conflict Prevention.
Conflict Prevention
The right hon. Gentleman has hit on another key point in relation to the Arab world. Not just in Libya but in all the countries of the Arab spring, the degree of violence and the difficulty, even if things go well, of creating civil society, is due to the legacy of having supported tyrants rather than democratic organisations in those countries over many years. Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that that is a lesson that we, and all western Governments, need to learn?
