Zimbabwe: Elections

Question
Whether they will propose at the United Nations the installation of impartial observers of the forthcoming election in Zimbabwe without delay.
Answer

My Lords, we have already raised the need for an urgent deployment of international observers to Zimbabwe at the UN and with the UN Secretary-General. We note that some observers are beginning to deploy, but we continue to emphasise in our contacts with African and other international leaders that many more are needed and quickly.
