Proceeding contribution from Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 8 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on Africa: Post-conflict Stabilisation.


Africa: Post-conflict Stabilisation

My Lords, could I remind the noble Lord of the question I put to him about the re-export of arms Bill sponsored by myself and the noble Lord, Lord Judd, and what he has to say about the flow of arms? I would be grateful if he could write to us about that question, as well as about the culture of impunity. I ask this because, unlike Joseph Kony, others have been caught and arrested, but not brought to trial. I mentioned some specific cases, including the recent killing of a human rights activist in the DRC.
