A
LETTER FROM LORD SHAWCROSS
Problem
1.
How to reply to a letter to the Secretary of State from Lord Shawcross about the establishment of an international criminal
court and Hong Kong?
Recommendation
•
I recommend the Secretary of State replies on 22 January.
I submit a draft letter, cleared with Legal Advisers and HKD.
Background and Argument
3. Lord Shawcross wishes to attend the Secretary of State's
address at Chatham House on Wednesday, 27 January and to ask two questions. The Private Secretary indicated that it would be better to answer the points by letter.
