§ Lord Aveburyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will ask the United Nations Secretary-General (a) to make a progress report on the comprehensive report on the Srebrenica massacre called for in General Assembly Resolution 53/35; (b) to publish all documents found to be relevant to the assessment made under this resolution, as and when they are examined; and (c) to publish all the records of the United Nations which deal with the events leading up to the massacre, including the minutes of all meetings attended by Mr. Yasushi Akashi, Mr. Carl Bildt, Mr. Thorvald Stoltenberg, General Rupert Smith and others, at which Srebrenica was discussed. [HL1890]
§ Baroness Symons of Vernham DeanThe terms of reference for the comprehensive report to be proposed by the Secretary-General by 1 September 1999 are set out in paragraph 18 of General Assembly Resolution 53/35. It would be inappropriate for one member state to seek to change the guidance already provided collectively by the entire UN membership.
