Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 July 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8 Summit.
G8 Summit
Yesterday I raised the question of the family law being enacted in Afghanistan, as I have on many occasions. We want to make it absolutely clear that we can support only legislation that guarantees basic rights, particularly those of women in Afghanistan. I urged President Karzai to look at any amendments that were necessary to protect basic women's rights, particularly the rights of under-age girls in Afghanistan. He assured me that this was what he would do, and I shall be able to report back to the House when asked.
