That this House welcomes the historic ruling of the House of Lords on 16th December, granting the appeal of nine individuals detained at HMP Belmarsh and elsewhere under Part IV of the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001; notes that the House of Lords has quashed the derogation under Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights; further notes the Declaration of the House of Lords that Part IV of the ATCSA 2001 is incompatible with the ECHR; further notes the resignation of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission special advocate, Ian McDonald QC; recalls the strong reservations on this Part expressed by the Joint Committee on Human Rights of both Houses and of the Privy Councillor Review Committee; further notes the concerns of domestic and international non-governmental organisations; believes that derogation from international human rights obligations is injurious to the standing of Britain in the world and causes profound damage to community relations domestically; further believes that detention without trial represents a breakdown of the rule of law and can only hinder protection of public safety and security; further believes that detainees must be promptly charged and brought before a court of law or released and returned to their families; and urges Her Majesty's Government to bring forward legislative changes to the Act in order to conform to the judgement of the House of Lords and respond to the concerns of the JCHR and Privy Councillor Review Committee.

That this House notes with deep regret the testimony given to the Home Affairs Select Committee investigation into terrorism and community relations by Mr Jagdeesh Singh in which he suggested that the Swaminarayan Temple in Neasden allowed itself to be used as a base for violent and terrorist activities; considers this allegation to be totally without foundation and abhorrent to a community which has itself suffered a terrorist attack on its mother temple in Gandhinagar, India where many monks and two British citizens were shot and killed; and further considers that this allegation has caused profound offence to the wider Hindu community in the UK and is damaging to good community relations and urges the Select committee to invite representatives of the Swaminarayan community to give testimony before the Committee that will establish a more accurate picture of the work for positive community relations that the Swaminarayan Temple is engaged in.

That this House notes that almost three years have now elapsed since the Home Secretary ordered the detention of a number of foreign nationals suspected of terrorism under Part IV of the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, and that 12 men still remain interned in HMP Belmarsh; recalls the strong reservations expressed in the reports of the Newton Committee and of the Joint Committee on Human Rights; further notes the concerns of respected domestic and international non-governmental organisations; believes that derogation from international human rights obligations is injurious to Britain's standing in the international community and causes profound damage to community relations; further believes that detention without trial represents a breakdown of the rule of law and can only hinder protection of public safety and security; and urges Her Majesty's Government to find an acceptable alternative so that detainees can be tried before a court or released and re-united with their families without delay.

That this House, whilst congratulating India on its 53rd year as a democratic republic after gaining independence from British colonial rule in 1947, is concerned that the question of self-determination for the people of Kashmir remains unresolved, which is not only a tragedy for the people of Kashmir but also seriously impedes development in both India and Pakistan as a result of the huge proportion of national incomes that goes on military spending; recognises that the dispute over Kashmir is potentially the gravest faced by the world, with both India and Pakistan having nuclear weapons and the capacity to deliver them; urges Pakistan to continue to clamp down on terrorism emanating from its side of the line of control and India to permit monitoring on its side by international human rights organisations; believes that Indian Republic Day would be a fitting occasion for India to commit itself to talks with Pakistan on all the issues that divide them, including Kashmir; and urges the UK Government to assist this process by offering to facilitate such dialogue.

That this House calls for an immediate end to the Israeli offensive in the Occupied Territories based on international law and UN resolutions; urges the British Government and the international community to bring further pressure to bear on the Israeli Government immediately to withdraw its forces from Palestinian towns, villages and refugee camps, strengthened by the dispatch of a United Nations observation team; calls for a cessation of the suffocating closures policy which constitutes collective punishment of the Palestinian civilian population in contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention; condemns terrorism on all sides; endorses both UN Security Council Resolution 1397 envisaging 'a region where two states, Israel and Palestine, live side by side within secure and recognised borders' and the Saudi initiative approved by the Beirut Arab Summit; extends its support to the Israeli peace movement, including the Israeli army reservists who refuse to serve in the Occupied Territories; calls for a cessation of violence on all sides, a freeze on all settlement expansion and a return to political negotiations, and insists that to end the 35 year-oppression and humiliation of the Palestinians and ensure lasting peace and security for all peoples, there must be permanent withdrawal by Israel from all occupied land, justice for the 3.8 million Palestinian refugees and the creation of a viable and fully independent Palestinian State.
