Self-Determination For Iraqi Kurds

EDM number 546 in 2003-04, proposed by Bob Spink on 04/02/2004.

That this House recognises the recent development in Iraqi Kurdistan and in particular the attack on Kurds in Arbil and that American insistence on setting up a new administrative government by the end of June this year, dividing the Kurdish areas in three separate provinces and denying the Kurds any real degree of self-government is leading to a crisis in the Kurdish area, where a debacle, similar to that in the betrayal of the Kurds after the First World War, is greatly feared; and urges the Government to refer this matter immediately to the UN for consideration by the UN's special Political and De-colonization Committee to resolve the future of the Kurds peacefully.

This motion has been signed by a total of 4 MPs.
