The motion

leave out from second `that' to end and insert `current universal jurisdiction legislation has allowed those with political agendas to exploit the legal system; notes that the current legislation undermines Britain's reputation as an effective venue for diplomacy; and therefore urges the Government immediately to seek an amendment to UK law - not to stifle meritorious complaints - but to ensure the important role Britain should play in international diplomacy can continue.'.
