UK-SYRIA: House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee report

03 November 2015

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

See the full text: The Committee has a majority of Conservative (government party) members:

"We believe that there should be no extension of British military action into Syria unless there is a coherent international strategy that has a realistic chance of defeating ISIL and of ending the civil war in Syria. In the absence of such a strategy, taking action to meet the desire to do something is still incoherent....

In the absence of a UN Security Council Resolution, how the Government would address the political, legal, and military risks arising from not having such a resolution?"
