HC Deb 05 July 2000 vol 353 c218W
Ms Oona King

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what his policy is on the establishment of an international tribunal to investigate human rights abuses in Sierra Leone. [128821]

Mr. Hain

Perpetrators of serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law should be brought to justice. We condemn the flagrant violations in Sierra Leone. We are in discussions with the Government of Sierra Leone and in the United Nations on how best to support President Kabbah's wish to bring those responsible to justice.
