KOSOVO

Early day motion 481, tabled 23 March 1999 by Alice Mahon (Labour). Signed by 17 members.

That this House recognises that NATO military action against Yugoslavia has not been endorsed by the United Nations Security Council, does not have the support of the Contact Group on Kosovo, contravenes the sovereign status of a recognised state, is likely to cause further civilian casualties and could lead to an escalation of conflict with consequent increased loss of life on all sides; therefore opposes the bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to adopt a policy of assisting a negotiated resolution of the terrible crisis in Kosovo in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter.

Signatures by party: Labour 15, Conservative 1, Labour/Co-operative 1.
