Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Rifkind (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
May I welcome the European Council's decision to prepare further targeted sanctions against Syria? If Russia continues to refuse to accept its responsibilities, should not the Arab League and Turkey, on their own incentive but with full support from the United States and Europe, close their land borders and airspace to all exports destined for Syria? If that were combined with a United States-led naval brigade, would it not prevent further armed supplies from being delivered to the Assad regime, thereby possibly saving the lives of tens of thousands of Syrian people?
