Early Day Motions On Peace

Early Day Motions are non-binding straw polls -- resolutions that MPs sign up to on topical issues. You can see a current list of them here, and you can also search for the EDMs that your own MP has signed up to here.

Some of the recent ones that I would be signing up to, if I was an MP, are:

- EDM 2076 - Mayors For Peace (criticises Boris for withdrawing London from the worldwide Mayors for Peace network)

- EDM 2057 - International Criminal Court (celebrating its 10th anniversary; supporting its work against individuals accused of international crimes, including the current Sudanese President Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur)

- EDM 2004 - US "Star Wars" base in the Czech Republic (the proposed base would work in tandem with Menwith Hill and Fylingdales and would heighten tension between NATO and Russia)
