Re: Change in Sanctions policy - UK government



Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reminder of the February 2000 House of
Commons Select Committee report on the Future of
Sanctions.  You ask whether

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
