HC Deb 26 April 2001 vol 367 c340W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list United Kingdom official delegates to the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva; and if he will publish the United Kingdom voting record and list those resolutions sponsored by the United Kingdom. [158986]

Mr. Battle

The United Kingdom delegation to the UN Commission on Human Rights is headed by Mrs. Audrey Glover CMG. The delegation also includes representatives from the UK missions to the UN in Geneva and New York, as well as from the Human Rights Policy Department and Global Issues Research Group of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

The UK contributes actively to initiatives put forward by the EU. At the 57th Session of CHR the EU introduced resolutions on Chechnya, Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Arab Territories, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Burma, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rights of the Child, and the Death Penalty.

The 57th Session of the CHR will end on 27 April. The final UK voting record will not be available until after this date. As soon as it is available it will be placed in the House of Commons Library.
