HL Deb 09 June 1999 vol 601 c162WA
Baroness Rawlings

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress they have made to secure agreement among United Nations Security Council members for a resolution to translate the conclusions of the United Nations panels into action. [HL2637]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

The UK and the Netherlands have circulated a draft Security Council resolution which, if adopted, would implement the vast majority of the recommendations made by the three panels. Russia has also proposed a draft resolution which in our view does not offer a realistic basis For agreement in the Council. Discussions on both drafts are continuing.
