HC Deb 29 April 2003 vol 404 c328W 328W

§ Norman Lamb
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on human rights in North Korea. [110411]

§ Mr. Rammell
The international community is seriously concerned about reports of widespread and continued human rights violations in North Korea. The EU made its concerns in this area clear at last year's meeting of the UN Commission on Human Rights, and took the decision to table a resolution at this year's session. The resolution was adopted by a majority on 16 April.
