HC Deb 15 December 1969 vol 793 c232W
80. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will seek to raise at the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations the dangers to peace in Africa arising from the persecution and killing of Africans in the Sudan.

Mr. Foley

No. Our attitude towards action at the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations on this subject would depend upon the case which was presented for it. I do not consider that it would be helpful for Her Majesty's Government to take the initiative in raising allegations at the United Nations which so closely concern the responsibilities of the Government of the Sudan.
