UK’s Prime Minister David Cameron has already signalled that he is considering to soon hold another Commons vote and ask the house permission to extend British military action from Iraq into Syria. However, the same vote faced bitter opposition from Labour and some Tory backbenchers almost two years ago. In response to speculations of another vote, Mr Corbyn has also indicated that he might oppose any widening of military action, but many of his colleagues are believed to disagree with his stance.
According to a joint article penned by Labour MP Jo Cox and Tory former Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell, the duo has highlighted that a “military component” is the need of the hour alongside humanitarian aid and intensive diplomacy in order to protect civilians. The article stressed the need for the enforcement of a “no fly” zone, adding that “some may think that a military component has no place in an ethical response to Syria. We completely disagree.”
The pair mentioned in the article that “it is not ethical to wish away the barrel bombs from the Syrian government when you have the capacity to stop them,” adding that “the deaths and fear generated by these indiscriminate air attacks are the main drivers of the refugee crisis in Europe.” It was explained that “nor is it ethical to watch when villages are overrun by Isis fighters, who make sex slaves of children and slaughter their fellow Muslims, when we have the capability to hold them back.”
