HL Deb 05 June 1996 vol 572 c128WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will take steps to ensure that the United Nations Human Rights Committee is allocated sufficient resources to enable it to publish its full annual report.

Lord Chesham

The United Nations publishes separately each year the Human Rights Committee's report to the General Assembly, states parties' reports to the Committee and summary records of oral examinations. With the help of voluntary contributions, the UN has also produced compilations of such previously published materials though timing is dependent on resources and priority is given to publishing current materials.
