The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Annual Report on Human Rights, which was last published in October 2006, sets out the Government’s assessment of the situation in Chechnya. We remain deeply concerned by the situation in the republic, which is fragile and vulnerable to human rights violations. We, and EU partners, continue to monitor developments closely. Copies of the 2006 FCO Annual Report on Human Rights are available in the Library of the House.
