英國議會主張不把空襲行動擴展到敘利亞大綱

A key committee in Britain's parliament issued a report Tuesday saying lawmakers will not support expanding airstrikes into Syria unless Prime Minister David Cameron's government answers a number of questions about the legal, political and military risks.

Britain has been a part of the U.S.-led coalition conducting airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq, but Cameron has failed to gain enough support to send forces to Syria on the same mission.

The Commons Foreign Affairs Committee highlighted the need to focus on finding a political solution to Syria's crisis and said British airstrikes could both hurt that effort and the country's standing in possible negotiations.

In 2013, British lawmakers rejected the government's proposal to launch airstrikes in Syria, and Tuesday's report recommends it not try again without answering a total of seven questions. Those include identifying what ground troops would seize and hold any territory captured from Islamic State militants.

Cameron said during a July interview with NBC's Meet The Press that Britain was committed to defeating the militants in both Iraq and Syria, but would not expand into Syria without the backing of parliament.英國議會的一個重要委員會星期二發表報告說，除非卡梅倫首相的政府就一系列有關法律、政治和軍事風險的問題做出答覆，否則議會就不支持把空襲行動擴大到敘利亞。

英國一直參與美國領導的針對伊拉克境內伊斯蘭國激進分子的空襲，但卡梅倫沒有獲得足夠的支持，因此不能派戰機在敘利亞採取同樣的行動。

英國議會下院外交委員會強調，必須將重點放在尋求以政治方式解決敘利亞危機，並表示英國進行空襲可能不利於這一努力，並會損害英國主張進行談判的立場。

2013年，英國議會曾否決政府有關在敘利亞境內發動空襲的提案。英國下院外交委員會星期二發表的報告說，政府要在空襲敘利亞境內目標，必須首先對七個問題做出答覆。

卡梅倫7月接受美國電視臺”與媒體見面”採訪時說，英國致力於打垮伊拉克和敘利亞境內的激進分子，但在得不到本國議會支持的情況下，不能將空襲行動擴展的敘利亞。
