Jeremy Corbyn: UNSC resolution does not give UK authorisation for bombing in Syria

Corbyn told the Commons that a resolution unanimously passed by the UN Security Council following the bombings in Paris did not, as some suggested, give the UK a "clear and unambigious" authorisation to beginning bombing in Syria.

“To do so it would have to have been passed under chapter 7 of the UN charter to which the security council could not agree.”
