HC Deb 19 March 1996 vol 274 c112W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations Her Majesty's Government have made and are making to the Government of Sierra Leone regarding human rights abuses. [21103]

Mr. Hanley

We take every opportunity to urge the Sierra Leone Government to bring perpetrators of human rights abuses to justice. Any lasting improvement in the political and human rights situation depends on the restoration of accountable, civilian Government in Sierra Leone and an end to the rebel war which we fully support.

Mr. Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions Her Majesty's Government have held with the Government of Sierra Leone regarding immunity for those found guilty of human rights abuses during the civil war. [21104]

Mr. Hanley

No such discussions have taken place.
