Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 January 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sri Lanka.


Sri Lanka

The hon. Gentleman has made an important point there. My understanding is that the United Nations Human Rights Council and the High Commissioner would prefer to have an independent UN presence in Sri Lanka the whole time. There seems to have been a long period in which the Sri Lankan Government have employed delaying tactics to try to head that off. Does the hon. Gentleman not think that we should still use our good offices at the UN to insist on an independent UN presence?
