ERITREA-ETHIOPIA CONFLICT

Early day motion 1924, tabled 13 November 2003 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 23 members.

That this House deeply regrets past conflicts between Ethiopia and Eritrea and the consequent loss of a large number of lives; recognises the role of the UN and the Organisation of African Unity in bringing the parties together and the establishment of a boundary commission to resolve the border dispute; accordingly commends the UN Security Council letter to Ethiopia requesting it fully complies with the commission; and calls on the Government to use all its endeavours to promote a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
