§ Lord Brockwayasked Her Majesty's Government:
What were the proposals of the non-aligned nations on the subject of the non-use of force at the Stockholm Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, and what is the attitude of the Government to these proposals.
§ The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Young)The Neutral and Non-Aligned Group proposals on Non-Use of Force (NUF) were tabled on 15th November 1985 as part of the amplified version of their original 1984 proposal. Their language on Non-Use of force draws on the Helsinki Final Act, the Madrid Concluding Document and UN agreements. As a conference document, the Neutral and Non-Aligned group proposal is not in the public domain. It is currently being considered by ourselves and our allies.
