Chairmanship Of The African Union

EDM number 1380 in 2005-06, proposed by Daniel Kawczynski on 16/01/2006.

That this House notes with great concern the likelihood of Sudan's military dictator becoming Chairman of the African Union; considers President Omer al-Bashir, who came to power during a coup and whose government has been accused of genocide in Darfur, as not suitable for such a distinguished position; and urges the Foreign Secretary to raise these concerns with other African countries in order to block his nomination.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
