Aleppo and Syria

Proceeding contribution from Emily Thornberry (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 October 2016. It occurred during Emergency debate on Aleppo and Syria.

I am not a pacifist, personally. I believe in using military force when it can be effective, if we can achieve the ends that we have identified, and if we know what we want to achieve. I believe that in a multi-layered, multifaceted civil war such as that in Syria, the last thing that we need is more parties bombing. We need a ceasefire and for people to draw back.
