Harriet Lamb, CEO of International Alert, one of the world's largest peacebuilding organisations reacts to the UK parliament's vote on airstrikes in Syria against the so-called Islamic State.
Lamb said: "The Paris attacks, abhorrent as they were, have reduced the debate on the conflict in Syria to one of “to bomb or not to bomb”. Bombing would be a knee-jerk reaction driven by the belief that only military intervention can satisfy the public’s need for action but there are more effective actions that can be taken instead.
