Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean on 10 July (WA 53), how they are "carefully monitoring the extent of 239WA compliance" with assurances "that British-built military equipment should not be used offensively or to violate human rights" in Aceh. [HL5164]
§ Baroness Symons of Vernham DeanOur embassy in Jakarta and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London monitors all sources of information available on the situation in Aceh and follow up on any reports that British-built military equipment has been used offensively or used to violate human rights.
In co-operation with our EU colleagues we continue to press for free and unhindered access to Aceh for diplomats, for NGOs and for the international press.
