Rape As An Instrument Of War

EDM number 1704 in 1992-93, proposed by Dafydd Wigley on 29/03/1993.

That this House congratulates the magazine Cosmopolitan on its harrowing article regarding rape camps in Bosnia; is appalled by the implied acceptance that rape is an instrument of war; welcomes the pressure from the international community to free more men from the brutal Bosnian concentration camps; condemns the fact that the same community has failed to do anything about the women in Bosnian rape camps; and calls on the Government to pressurise relevant global organisations so that rape will be documented as a war crime and that the commanding officers responsible for these atrocities be brought to trial.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
