Elian Gonzalez (EDM640)

Elian Gonzalez

EDM number 640 in 1999-00, proposed by Alan Simpson on 12/04/2000.

That this House believes that, both morally and legally, Elian Gonzalez, aged six years, should be returned to his father and grandparents in Cuba; recognises that the USA would have returned Elian to his family and country of origin had that country been anywhere other than Cuba; believes that the treatment of a child as a political pawn is flagrantly in breach of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to demand the immediate return of Elian to his family in Cuba, as recommended by the American Immigration and Naturalisation Service.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
