Proceeding contribution from Bob Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 September 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya.


Libya

The act of surrendering is probably the most dangerous thing that a combatant has to do. How can we encourage the forces of the NTC to act within the rules of war, and specifically within the Geneva convention? If they do, the remnants of Gaddafi's forces will be encouraged to surrender more quickly, and there will be less loss of life.
