§ Sir Bernard BraineTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he has taken to verify allegations that the Ethiopian armed forces have been using napalm against the civilian population of Tigray; whether the concern already expressed to him about the continued violation of basic human rights in Tigray has yet been raised with the United Nations Commission on Human Rights; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerWe take very seriously allegations of the use of napalm against civilians in the conflict in Tigray but conclusive evidence is not available. We shall raise our concerns about such reports at the current meeting of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.
