Mr. Pattie asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. if he will publish in the Official Report a statement of his policy on the violation of human rights in the USSR, in prepara- tion for the United Kingdom's attendance, at the forthcoming Belgrade conference to review the implementation of the Final Act of the Conference on European Security and Co-operation.
Mr. Luard: Her Majesty's Govern ment deplore all violations of human rights, wherever they occur, and natur- ally expect the Soviet Union to honour its commitments in respect both of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe. It is the Government's policy to bring to the attention of the Soviet authorities at every suitable opportunity the deep con- cern which is rightly felt in this country about human rights cases. As my right. hon. Friend has frequently stated, we believe that quiet but persistent represen- > tations about such cases are the best means of achieving results. The Govern- ment will not be satished until all the . human rights provisions of the Final Act have been implemented by all the signa tory States.
