Britain Reiterates Decision Not to OK Genocide Conventior

LONDON, (JTA)—The Brit-
ish government reiterated in
the House of the Commons its
decision against accession to
the United Nations Convention
Against Genocide. That conven-
tion has been in force since
1951, but neither Britain nor
the United States has ratified
it.
Repetition of the govern-
ment's objection to becoming
a partner to the convention
against genocide was expressed
in the House by Peter Thomas,
Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs. He was answering a
query on the issue from Sir
Barnett Janner, a Labor mem-
ber of parliament who is also
president of the Board of Depu-
ties of British Jews. He cited
as the reason a statement made
by the government in July 1962,
declaring that that stand "ex-
plained the matter fully."
Two reasons were given by
the government last year for

Birmingham Temple
Plans Adult Session

refusing to accede to the in-
strument against genocide. One
was that, under the UN con-
vention, the government would
have to "forego its traditional
right to give political asylum to
refugees in certain cases in
volving a purely political of-
fense." The UN convention calls
genocide a criminal offense,
not political.
The other reason stated by
the government was that, in
the unlikely event that anyone
in Britain might be accused of
genocide, "ordinary criminal
law" would cover such a crime.

The government, however, af-
firmed its "utter abhorrence of

the crime of genocide, and its
determination that those who
commit it should be brought
to justice."
