Yugoslavia (Hansard, 11 December 1992)

§ Lady Olga Maitland
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when it is planned that the airport at Tuzla should be opened for humanitarian aid deliveries.

§ Mr. Goodlad
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has no plans to open Tuzla airport at this time.
According to the European Community monitoring mission, the town is supplied efficiently by a system of land convoys to and from central Bosnia and food is not scarce.

§ Mr. Robert Banks
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he is yet in possession of evidence which can form the basis for trial by the International Court of Justice of persons responsible for, and participating in, the operation of concentration camps for Muslim people in Serbia and Bosnia.

§ Mr. Goodlad
No. But we are considering how best to gather substantiated evidence of breaches of international humanitarian law committed in the former Yugoslavia, to submit to the United Nations Commission of Experts in Geneva (established by United Nations Security Council Resolution 780).

§ Mr. Robert Banks
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has on the numbers of prisoners in concentration camps run by the Serbian authorities.

§ Mr. Goodlad
The International Red Cross (ICRC) estimate that 4,100 are currently held in detention camps run by the Bosnian Serbs.
