To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement of Her Majesty's Government's aims at the current CSCE conference on the human dimension in Copenhagen.

As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs said when he addressed the conference on 5 June, we want the Copenhagen CDH meeting to extend CSCE human rights undertakings, specifically on free and fair elections, the rule of law, and freedom of expression, of association and peaceful assembly, and of movement. We shall also play a full part in the detailed review of participating states' implementation of their CSCE human rights commitments.
