HL Deb 14 March 1991 vol 527 c10WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they disagree with Amnesty's account of recent events in Kuwait and whether they will remind the Kuwaiti Government of the need to observe human rights now Kuwait has been liberated.

The Earl of Caithness:

Amnesty International's account of atrocities committed in Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation has been confirmed by many independent accounts We have taken steps both before and after liberation to make clear to the Kuwaiti Government our concern that human rights should be respected. They have assured us that Kuwait will be administered in strict accordance with law.
