HC Deb 20 June 1995 vol 262 c165W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make statement about the new mandate of the United Nations Mission in Rwanda force in Rwanda. [29505]

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Under United Nations Security Council resolution 997, the revised mandate of UNAMIR now includes assisting the Government of Rwanda in facilitating the voluntary and safe return of refugees and supporting its efforts to promote a climate of confidence and trust through the performance of monitoring tasks throughout the country. We hope that this revision will facilitate UNAMIR's efforts to promote national reconciliation in Rwanda.
