What is the Minister's view of the human rights abuses of African-Americans in the US, in particular, a number of killings of African-Americans, including the killings of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray and others by police authorities, and the killings of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis and others? Those killings have given rise to the Black Lives Matter movement in the US and they point to a systemic racism in the US state and police force. Has the Minister raised this issue, or will he raise it, with his US counterparts?
