HC Deb 13 February 1992 vol 203 c606W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government will take steps to instigate a debate in the United Nations on the massacre of Kurd civilians in 1988, with a view to establishing a United Nations investigation into allegations of genocide related specifically to those atrocities.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Iraq's appalling human rights record is already under scrutiny at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in Geneva. The United Nations has appointed a special rapporteur to report on human rights in Iraq. He has our full support. These latest reports simply underline Saddam Hussein's total disregard for international norms of behaviour.
