Brahimi Report

HC Deb 14 February 2001 vol 363 c132W

Mr. Swayne

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will make a statement about the Brahimi report. [149875]

Mr. Mullin

The Brahimi report makes a number of fundamental recommendations on improving the way the UN and the international community tackle peacekeeping, conflict prevention and peacebuilding, and on clarifying the mandates of UN agencies involved in tackling crises and conflict situations. The UK is very supportive of the Brahimi report and is working with the UN and other member states to take rapid and decision action on its speedy and effective implementation.
