HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN CHECHNYA

Motion Text

That this House notes with grave concern the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Chechnya; notes that Russia's indiscriminate bombing of Chechnya has led to the maiming and killing of innocent civilians and caused over 200,000 refugees to flee to neighbouring republics; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to take a lead role within the international community to get humanitarian relief to Chechen refugees to intensify economic and diplomatic pressure on the Russian Government to bring about a peaceful resolution of this conflict.
