Lord Clinton-Davis

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What attitude they will take to the resolution tabled on 6th October at the United Nations General Assembly on the question of continuing human rights abuses and religious persecution on the part of the Iranian authorities against the Bahā'i community in Iran.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

Together with our EC partners we co-sponsored the resolution adopted on 4th December by the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly about the human rights situation in Iran. This resolution expressed the deep concern of the United Nations General Assembly at the continuing reports of violations of human rights, including the treatment of the Bahā'i community. It was passed with a large majority.
