HC Deb 24 April 1990 vol 171 c127W
Mr. Winnick

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to raise at the United Nations the human rights record of the present regime in Iraq; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

We have raised, and will continue to raise, our concerns about Iraq's human rights record, both directly with the Iraqi authorities and in all suitable international bodies. We expressed our views firmly at the recent UN Commission of Human Rights in Geneva.
