Lib-Dem Special Conference on Syria

We had the pleasure of speaking at the Liberal-Democrats' special conference on the Syria vote. This conference was meant to review the party's policy in approaching the December vote on Syria (to bomb Daesh) and to discuss whether this represented the right course of action. We stressed in our presentation that civilian protection lies at the heart of any solution on Syria, and that the vote to bomb Daesh is unlikely to lead to anything constructive if not done as part of a wider strategy to protect civilians.
