§ Lord Aveburyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they consider that the United Nations should take any action following the presentation by the Secretary-General to the General Assembly of the interim report (A/50/569) on the situation of human rights in Sudan prepared by Dr. Gaspar Biro, Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights.
§ Baroness Chalker of Wallasey:We support continued UN monitoring of the human rights situation in Sudan, which remains of grave concern. Dr. Biro's interim report will be considered shortly in the Third Committee of the General Assembly.
§ Lord Aveburyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will raise in the United Nations Security Council the threat to peace arising from Sudanese aggression against Eritrea, Uganda and Ethiopia.
§ Baroness Chalker of Wallasey:We are concerned at allegations of Sudanese support for extremist groups based in Sudan which present a threat to neighbouring states. We understand that the Organisation of African Unity is taking this matter forward.
§ Lord Aveburyasked Her Majesty's Government:
What action they have taken in the United Nations Security Council following the receipt by the President of the letter dated 3 October 1995 from the Secretary General, stating that the Government of Ethiopia had concluded that the terrorist assault on the motorcade of President Mubarak of Egypt in Addis Ababa on 26 June 1995 was supported, assisted and facilitated by the security organs of Sudan.
§ Baroness Chalker of Wallasey:The President of the UN Security Council sent a reply dated 12 October 1995 to the UN Secretary-General. This noted the efforts of the Organisation of African Unity to resolve the issue of alleged Sudanese complicity in the assassination attempt on President Mubarak and asked the Secretary General to keep the UN Security Council informed of developments.
