USE OF SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS IN CONFLICT AREAS

Early day motion 1360, tabled 12 April 2016 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 29 members.

That this House views with alarm the continued use of schools and hospitals throughout the world to harbour armed insurgents at times of conflicts resulting in the failure especially to keep safe and protect young children and the sick from harm; and calls on the Government to urgently sign and promote the International Safe School Declaration in any peace talks, to re-emphasise the terms of the Geneva Convention and to help train all militaries in the importance of such important humanitarian practices.
