Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Pittenweem (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Africa and the Middle East.


Africa and the Middle East

However welcome it may be that the International Criminal Court has issued those warrants, is not it the case that on a realistic assessment we can hardly be wholly confident that Colonel Gaddafi will ever face the Court? Does my right hon. Friend agree, however, that the significance of issuing the warrants is as much political as legal, in that it demonstrates a unified international response to the barbarism of Colonel Gaddafi and those about him?
