Mr. George Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what support has been given by Her Majesty's Government to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in supporting the creation of mechanisms whereby the United Nations can react promptly to prevent summary or arbitrary executions.
