HL Deb 02 May 2000 vol 612 c147WA
Lord Ahmed

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they consider that all relevant United Nations resolutions should be implemented in full prior to consideration of any country's application for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. [HL2076]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

We would expect that compliance with international rules and standards would strengthen any country's claim to a new permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.
