HL Deb 12 April 1999 vol 599 c94WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will place a copy of the report by Dr. Helena Ranta on the killings at Recak, Kosovo, in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament; and what steps they consider should be taken to bring to trial those responsible, according to Dr. Ranta, for a crime against humanity.[HL1656]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean)

We are arranging for a copy of the report to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament.

The UK has supported the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in its efforts to investigate all alleged crimes against humanity in Kosovo, and has continued to press the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) to fulfil its legal obligation to co-operate fully with the tribunal.
