HL Deb 28 October 2002 vol 640 c10WA
Lord Judd

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their latest estimate of the role played by the Ugandan People's Defence Force in Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo; and what representations they have made to the Government of Uganda. [HL5971]

Baroness Amos:

The United Nations Secretary-General has asked the Ugandan People's Defence Force (UPDF) to stay in Ituri province to provide law and order, until an alternative Congolese force can perform this role. The UK has reminded the Ugandan Government of the UPDF obligations to the local population.
