House of Commons Early Day Motion 294
CHRISTIAN AID AGENCIES' REPORT ON IRAQ
5:2:01
Mr George Galloway
Mr John Cummings
Mr Bill Michie
Dr Norman A. Godman
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.
