HC Deb 05 March 1973 vol 852 c42W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking to ensure that freedom fighters captured in Southern Rhodesia by the troops or police of the illegal regime are treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention.

Mr. Amery

We would hope that Rhodesian treatment of captured persons would conform with universally accepted humanitarian principles, but, as the hon. Member knows, we have little power to influence events on the ground inside Rhodesia.
