Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Tuesday, 20 February 2007.
Council of Europe: State Immunity
- Question
- My Lords, does the Minister agree that, while getting improvement in the laws from the United Nations must be the ultimate objective, an agreement in the Council of Europe would increase pressure on the United Nations to accept laws that reduce immunity?
- Answer
-
That may well be the case, my Lords, but agreement has to be sought and found within the Council of Europe, and we are a long way from that yet.
