HL Deb 22 March 1982 vol 428 c917WA
Lord Brockway

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, in view of the danger of hostilities between Libya and the USA arising from the dispute regarding Libya's territorial waters, they will initiate a proposal in the United Nations Security Council that an appropriate international body of impartial composition should adjudicate on the issue.

Lord Carrington

No. Difficulties between Libya and the USA are primarily for those two Governments. It would be for them to initiate action within the Security Council if they thought it appropriate.
