HC Deb 14 June 1994 vol 244 cc395-6W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he supports the appointment of special rapporteurs for Rwanda and Burundi; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We supported the creation by the Commission on Human Rights of the post of special rapporteur on Rwanda and welcome the appointment of Mr. Rene Degni Segui. No member of the United Nations has called for the appointment of special rapporteur on Burundi, where the United Nations is focusing on preventive action.

Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the obstacles to the implementation of the United Nations Security Council's decision to deploy 5,500 troops in Rwanda; and how it is proposed to clear these obstacles.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The main obstacles will be to obtain the consent of both parties and to identify member states willing to contribute troops and equipment to the operation.

The secretariat is working on these issues, and the Secretary-General is due to report to the Security Council on progress in the near future.

Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when the United Nations Security Council intends to meet again about Rwanda.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The Security Council has discussed Rwanda in informal sessions several times since the adoption of Security Council resolution 918. The council will meet again in due course to consider the Secretary-General's report called for in SCR 918.
