Northern Ireland: Human Rights
artdoc August=1991
Britain's record on human rights was under scrutiny by the
United Nations Human Rights Committee at the beginning of April.
In particular, the British government's representative, Mr.
Halliday, faced forceful questioning on `shoot-to-kill' practices
(Just News, May 1991). The same practices are at the centre of
Amnesty International's new report United Kingdom, Human Rights
Concerns, released in the United States on 11 June. (see
Andersonstown News, 15.6.91; APRN 13.6.91; Irish News, 7.6.91).
