CHRISTIAN AID AGENCIES' REPORT ON IRAQ (EDM294)

CHRISTIAN AID AGENCIES' REPORT ON IRAQ

EDM number 294 in 2000-01, proposed by George Galloway on 05/02/2001.

That this House welcomes the report of the Caritas Europa delegation including Julian Filochowski Director of the British Catholic Aid Agency CAFOD and Father Frank Turner SJ Assistant Secretary General of the Catholic Bishops Conference on the 'humanly catastrophic, morally indefensible and politically ineffective' sanctions on Iraq; notes the report's description of Iraqi sanctions as a failed policy which must be changed; calls upon Her Majesty's Government to contemplate the churchmen's conclusion that the suffering of the Iraqi people cannot be regarded as unfortunate but collateral damage in what is otherwise an honourable course of action; and considers that the fact that sanctions are patently ineffective only adds insult to injury.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
