Motions and questions in Dutch Parliament on Dalits, child labour, EU-India free agreement, role of UN etc.

Member of Parliament Mr. Voordewind of the Christian Union party has posed written questions to the government on 31 October 2011 on the implementation of the motions [adopted by Parliament relating to dalit discrimination, child labour, and EU-India free trade treaty], the statements by Minister Rosenthal and about what the Netherlands is doing to promote fundamental labour rights and other human rights in India. After highly unsatisfactory answers to his 31 October questions, he raised another set of questions on 16 January 2012 focusing on the implementation of the motions. In one of his questions he expresses his doubt if the Minister is really willing to implement the ‘Dalit motion’ which he had promised to do after the adoption of the motion.
