Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Syria.
Syria
This is not an excuse for Russia and China, and as I pointed out earlier other nations that were very critical of our actions in Libya voted for the resolution, appreciating that it was put forward on behalf of the Arab League, and that it put forward an entirely different proposition from how we proceeded in Libya, because the situation is entirely different. This should not be advanced as an excuse for what is in my view an indefensible veto.
