AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL'S RECOMMENDATIONS TO
THE LUXEMBOURG PRESIDENCY
Knowing your interest in the forthcoming UK
Presidency and human rights I am sending you a copy of the memorandum
presented to the Luxembourg government at the beginning of their
Presidency. In due course we will be preparing a similar document
for the UK government.
I noted with interest the statements made by
ministers to the Foreign Affairs Committee and Quadripartite Committee
yesterday and today and Amnesty International UK will be following
these up. We are obviously pleased that the UK government is looking
at ways it can promote human rights and arms export controls during
its time as President of the EU.
I hope that we might meet to discuss Amnesty
International UK's recommendations to the UK Presidency sometime
in March?
