HC Deb 15 March 1995 vol 256 cc586-7W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will support any proposal at the UN Security Council to set up a human rights monitoring team in East Timor.

Mr. Goodlad

No such proposal is before the UN Security Council. The human rights situation in East Timor is kept under regular review by the UN Commission on Human Rights. At its recent session, the UN commission welcomed the Indonesian Government's undertaking to invite the High Commissioner for Human Rights to visit East Timor in 1995 and to continue to co-operate with the UN commission's special rapporteurs and working groups.
