AGENT ORANGE COURT CASE

Early day motion 680, tabled 25 February 2004 by Harry Cohen (Labour). Signed by 36 members.

That this House welcomes the news that three Vietnamese suffering from the effects of Agent Orange, sprayed on their country by American forces, have taken out a lawsuit against the manufacturers seeking damages; notes that President Clinton, in May 1996, admitted to the 'suffering our nation unintentionally caused its own sons and daughters by exposing them to Agent Orange'; and looks forward to a successful outcome of this important court case for the over two million Vietnamese 'sons and daughters' affected by Agent Orange.
