Call for UK Gov intervention in UN Peacekeeper hostage-taking in Golan, Syria.

Additional Information

The 20 hostages taken in the Village of Golan are UN Disengagement Observers from the Philippines.

Their involvement in the Syrian conflict is merely that of an independent dispatch of officials critiquing the participation of the UN in Syria, Ultimately they are Peace-Keepers.

All this occurring in the same week where the UK amongst other nations in the UN agreed to supply one of the Syrian rebel forces (Free Syrian Army) with military equipment.

The rebel hostage takers aren't synonymous with FSA
but what assertions are part of the trade in equipment that says this equipment isn't used for similar reprehensible actions involving outsider nations far removed from the conflict in Syria?

Short of actually mediating the 20 hostage's release, I think that the UK government should put controls in place to prevent actions of remiss resulting from the trade in UK equipment for the duration of the Syrian conflict.
