ETHIOPIA AND ERITREA

Early day motion 390, tabled 12 January 2004 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 46 members.

That this House deeply regrets past conflict 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.
