Motion text

That this House condemns the Russian military action in Chechnya and calls for troop withdrawal and a political solution that recognises rights of self-determination; is also concerned that the Russian action is partly motivated by demand for control of oil and gas pipelines running through Chechnya; and is concerned that the criticisms of Russia have not focused sufficiently on supporting peace and anti-war groups in Russia.
