BOMBING OF YUGOSLAVIAN TV AND RADIO STATIONS

Early day motion 586, tabled 26 April 1999 by Alice Mahon (Labour). Signed by 14 members.

That this House agrees with the widespread condemnation of the bombing campaign against Yugoslavian television and radio, which inevitably killed and injured journalists and other civilian media workers; notes that NATO chose to bomb the studio rather than an unstaffed transmitter facility; accepts that Yugoslavian television and radio are government-owned and put out anti-NATO propaganda; but believes, however, that once one kills people because one doesn't like what they say and claims that civilians are 'legitimate targets', any claim to be conducting a just or moral war is false.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
