Motion Text

That this House regrets the civil war in Syria, now into its seventh year, which has claimed an estimated 400,000 lives and led to 11 million people, half of the Syrian population, being forced to leave their homes; notes that in addition to the massive civilian casualties, there has been a number of chemical attacks on civilians; understands that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has been cataloguing and documenting the atrocities in Syria since 2012; and calls on the Government to present the evidence it has collated to the International Criminal Court.
