I have raised this issue previously but it needs to be raised again with the Taoiseach. I am referring to the urgent need to have a debate in this House on human rights abuses globally. They are increasing at an alarming rate and without any major response. We should ensure the debate is used as a means of focusing attention, through the UN Security Council, on the issue and of ensuring the United Nations will take appropriate action as a matter of urgency.
