Cyprus Missing Persons

EDM number 584 in 2005-06, proposed by Alan Meale on 13/07/2005.

That this House welcomes the decision of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe who on 7th June agreed to adopt the judgement of the European Court of Human Rights which found Turkey guilty of violating the right to life, liberty and security of Cypriots regarded as missing persons since the illegal invasion and occupation of the island in 1974, together with the rights of their relatives not to be subjected to inhumane and degrading treatment whilst searching for news of their lost loved ones; believes this to prove the commitment and collective desire of European governments to support and defend the rule of law, protection of human rights and other basic freedoms; and calls upon the UK Government to demand of Turkey that it comply immediately and wholly with this just decision of the International Court.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
