Proceeding contribution from Christopher Fraser (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Geneva Conventions and United Nations Personnel (Protocols) Bill [Lords].


Geneva Conventions and United Nations Personnel (Protocols) Bill [Lords]

I thank the Minister for giving way again. I am asking my questions in interventions rather than in a speech as I have to attend a Select Committee very shortly. When the UN's sixth committee proposed the terms of the optional protocol to the convention on the safety of UN personnel, there was some concern that the term ““peace building”” was not properly defined. What does she understand the term to mean now?
