Mr. Simon Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what measures he proposes to apply additional pressure on Indonesia to ratify the international covenant on civil and political rights.

We regularly encourage all countries to ratify the international covenant on civil and political rights and other United Nation human rights instruments. My right hon. and learned Friend the Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs did so most recently at the UN Commission on Human Rights on 8 February.
