HC Deb 19 April 1991 vol 189 c288W
Mr. Nellist

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what conditions Her Majesty's Government laid down prior to 15 April for Iraq's compliance with basic human rights law in dealing with the insurrection in the north and south; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We expect Iraq to live up to its international obligations under the Geneva conventions, the international convention on civil and political rights and the genocide convention. In addition, SCR 688, adopted on 5 April, demands that the Iraqi Government stop their repression of their own people.
