by Johanna Maij-Weggen (PPE) to the Council

(11 March 1997)

Subject: UN Commission on Human Rights

The UN Commission on Human Rights will be meeting from 10 March to 18 April 1997 in Geneva.

Can the Council say what contributions it has made with regard to Turkey, Algeria, Colombia, Indonesia/East
Timor,  Nigeria  and  Burma,  and  how  it  has  taken  account  in  its  contributions  of  the  views  of  the  European
Parliament?

Answer

(25 September 1997)

The Honourable Member of the European Parliament can be assured that, in the preparation for this year(cid:146)s 53rd
session of the Commission on Human Rights, the Council took note and made use of the European Parliament(cid:146)s
resolution adopted at its session of 17-21 February 1997.

This  year  the  European  Union  has  taken  the  lead  on  country  specific  resolutions  on  East  Timor,  Iran,  Iraq,
Myanmar (Burma), Nigeria and Zaire.  All resolutions sponsored by the European Union were adopted.  It should
also be mentioned that a UN Committee of Inquiry into the killings in East-Zaire was created with the help of the
Member States.
