HL Deb 18 January 1993 vol 541 c57WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What information they have about multiple rapes in Bosnia-Hercegovina and what evidence they have that these were planned as part of a concerted campaign to humiliate and dispossess the civilian population of certain areas.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The Edinburgh European Council despatched a delegation last month to investigate allegations of systematic rape in the former Yugoslavia and report back to Foreign Ministers. This initiative was supported by United Nations Security Council Resolution 798. EC member states are studying urgently the initial report on the delegation's findings.
