Hi Mark, Thanks for your reminder of the February 2000 House of Commons Select Committee report on the Future of Sanctions. You ask whether > the present government has taken any note of the > Committee report. One year later, it would certainly > appear to have ignored many of its conclusions. It has certainly been noted, if only in a minimal sense. The government responded to the Committee report (as is usual) and there was then a parliamentary debate. All these are listed on CASI's "Information sources" page at http://www.cam.ac.uk/societies/casi/info/index.html Scroll down to "The British government"; they are in the section called "House of Commons". Yes, though, there has often been a gap between willingness to accept abstract recommendations on sanctions and willingness to apply them in Iraq's specific case. Best, Colin Rowat Let us ask those concerned > why. > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
