Situation in the Red Sea

Proceeding contribution from Layla Moran (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 January 2024. It occurred during Debate on Situation in the Red Sea.

On international law, let us face it: international humanitarian law is the last resort, when other things have gone wrong. Perhaps the side that we politicians can take is that of morality. What is the right thing to do? What is the humanitarian thing to do? What should we do about human misery? That is why the immediate bilateral ceasefire is so important. There is a choice. The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court will be looking at the war crimes, and it is right to let the courts do their job, but the Government could also have made a moral judgment. Does the hon. Gentleman agree?
