HC Deb 13 January 1986 vol 89 cc473-4W
Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government have made any representations to the special United Nations rapporteur on human rights in Chile.

Mr. Renton

We have not made any direct representations to the United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in Chile. However, as a member of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights we supported in March 1985 a resolution which extended his mandate and requested him to report again on the human rights situation in Chile.

Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many formal meetings have been held since November 1984 between Her Majesty's embassy in Santiago and representatives of the Government of Chile; and how many of these have been concerning human rights.

Mr. Renton

We make regular and frequent representations on human rights and other issues to the Government of Chile both in Santiago and London.
