Confidential document given to the UN Security Council on 29th November

The request was refused by Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Dear Foreign and Commonwealth Office,

I have recently read a report (http://www.securitycouncilreport.org/sit...) which said:

"On 29 November, the Council received a report from its group of experts on sanctions (S/2010/596). The report discussed the illegal exploitation of natural resources by armed groups and elements within the Congolese National Army (FARDC).

The experts also provided the sanctions committee with a confidential file containing information on three people implicated in the Walikale mass rapes in July and August 2010."

As a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, the U.K. ought to have details of the 'confidential' document described in the second paragraph of the excerpt above.

I would very much like to have a copy of that document. Therefore, I request that the FCO make enquiries to the U.K. Mission to the U.N. on my behalf.

Yours faithfully,

Rob Davidson

Foreign and Commonwealth Office
