Proceeding contribution from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
I greatly welcome the Prime Minister's leadership on Libya. Its liberation is a success not only for the Libyan people but for proving that the international community can act together to implement the responsibility to protect. However, does he agree that we must also exercise caution? Intervention under R2P must be used sparingly and only in cases that meet all the relevant criteria, such as there being a serious threat to human rights, the response being proportional and there being clear support for action internationally, regionally and within the country.
