I STRONGLY support Evelyn Kinsella in her quest for the UK to support a permanent international criminal court of justice.

However, as the Conservative Government has refused time and again to sign the International Convention for Human Rights I feel that we have no right to preach for this cause within the international community.

I would wish to see all violations of human rights in this world brought to justice.

Let's focus on Burundi and the former Yugoslavia, but we must not forget the murders in Argentina, Chile, Hungary, Paraguay, Bolivia and Peru still taking their toll, as well as the children of Brazil, Guatemala and Mexico. The list is endless in Central and South America.

Europe failed Yugoslavia. Why do we always have to call in the USA to solve our European problems? JOHN MULHALL, Harrison Square
