Mr. Winnick

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will obtain for his Department's library a copy of the article inThe Times of 25 February written by John and Ann Tusa on the steps which could be taken to establish machinery for those held responsible for crimes against humanity to be brought to justice; and if he will make a statement.

We have consistently stated that individuals bear personal responsibility for crimes under international law. This position is reflected in Security Council resolution 674.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what consultations are taking place amongst the allies and at the United Nations for machinery to be established for those held responsible for crimes against humanity to be brought to justice.
