HC Deb 14 February 1992 vol 203 c682W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proposals will be made by Her Majesty's Government to the annual conference of the United Nations Human Rights Commission this month.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

In my speech to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights on 30 January, I reaffirmed the British Government's commitment to human rights, and urged the Commission to focus on the issue of holding human rights abusers accountable for their actions. Our delegation to the Commission will also support the extension of the mandates of the Special Rapporteurs and work towards resolutions on several country situations including Burma and Iraq.
