Motion Amendment (Private Members' Motion): Illegal US and Israeli Attacks on Iran - Amendment 1
Leave out all after first ‘international law’ and insert: ‘and condemns Iranian-sponsored global terrorism through Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, as well as the many human rights violations against its citizens in breach of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, particularly its oppression of women in Iran; regrets that many civilians will lose their lives during this conflict; is deeply concerned that British and Irish citizens living, working, on holiday, transiting, or serving in the region with our armed forces, are in danger; recognises the huge economic damage that will be felt in the Middle East and the economic shock that will also be felt across the globe; further recognises the direct impact of fuel and energy price rises on workers and families already struggling with the cost of living; calls for an end to Iran’s nuclear programme and its sponsorship of global terrorism, to enable an end to the conflict, a return to negotiations and a de-escalation of the situation in the region; and further calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister to do all they can to understand the wider situation so they can assist British and Irish citizens, and their families, who have been impacted by the conflict.’
