    WRITTEN QUESTION No. 310/98 by Magda AELVOET to the Council. Security in Great Lakes Region of Africa

    Official Journal C 196 , 22/06/1998 P. 0124


    WRITTEN QUESTION P-0310/98 by Magda Aelvoet (V) to the Council (9 February 1998)

    Subject: Security in Great Lakes Region of Africa

    Does the Council intend to support international efforts for the reactivation of the United Nations International Commission (Rwanda) and the extension of its mandate to investigate arms flows to the Great Lakes region, as called for by the European Parliament? Does the Council support international calls for the deployment of United Nations or Organization of African Unity observers to key airstrips and crossing points in the Great Lakes region?

    Answer (30 April 1998)

    The Council would be happy to support international efforts to re-activate the United Nations International Commission. The United States has proposed enlarging the mandate of that Commission, including a reference to Burundi, and has discussed elements for a draft Security Council resolution with representatives of African countries at the UN. However, no text has yet been proposed.

    No proposals have been made to deploy UN or OAU observers to key airstrips and border crossings in the region. The Council would, however, give careful consideration to any such proposal.
