To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether (a) she and (b) officials in her Department have received representations regarding a UN report on human rights abuses in Afghanistan by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights; and if she will make a statement.
An Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) report on human rights abuses in Afghanistan was completed in January 2005, but has not been published. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has not received representations about the report.
We continue to work closely with the OHCHR, the Afghan Government, the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission and international partners to improve respect for human rights in Afghanistan, to strengthen capacity building, and to build on the Afghan Government's many achievements since the fall of the Taliban regime.
