A UNSC resolution or the consent of a government are not the only potential bases in international law for the use of force. Other legal bases would include: individual or collective self-defence; and, in certain exceptional circumstances, in order to avert an overwhelming humanitarian catastrophe. ISIL continue to pose a direct threat to Iraq. They operate across the borders of Syria and Iraq, in a situation where the Government of Syria is unable or unwilling to take effective action to counter the threat posed by ISIL. Iraq has requested help to defend itself. The US have been clear that in carrying out military actions in Syria they are acting on the basis of both collective and individual self-defence. If the UK were to undertake military strikes in Syria we would only do so on a sound legal basis and that would depend on the facts on the ground at the time, for example in line with the US led international efforts in collective self defence pursuant to the Iraqi request of 20 September. The Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), has been clear that if the decision were made to take military action in Syria the government would return to the House of Commons. However, if there were a critical British interest at stake or there were the need to take urgent action to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe then it would be possible to order that and come straight to the House and explain afterwards.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1487", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bournemouth East"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Tobias Ellwood"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-13T15:16:47.7997148Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-09-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Iraq and Syria"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will take steps to ensure all UN member states commit not to take military action in Iraq or Syria without either the consent of the governments of those countries or a supporting UNSC Resolution.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/545", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Paul Flynn"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newport West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Paul Flynn"} ], "uin" : "208633"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/90844", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/90844/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Prime Minister's statement to the House on 1 September 2014, referred to a targeted, discretionary power to prevent certain British nationals from
returning to the UK. We are working closely across government to work up proposals in line with our international obligations.
In the case of dual nationals and naturalised citizens in certain circumstances, the Home Secretary may be able to deprive these individuals of
their British citizenship and subsequently exclude them from the UK. These decisions are taken personally by the Secretary of State, reflecting how
seriously the matter is taken.<\/p>
