Use Of Schools And Hospitals In Conflict Areas

EDM number 1360 in 2015-16, proposed by Alan Meale on 12/04/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Health services, Military operations and Schools.

That this House views with alarm the continued use of schools and hospitals throughout the world to harbour armed insurgents at times of conflicts resulting in the failure especially to keep safe and protect young children and the sick from harm; and calls on the Government to urgently sign and promote the International Safe School Declaration in any peace talks, to re-emphasise the terms of the Geneva Convention and to help train all militaries in the importance of such important humanitarian practices.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
