I am obviously minded to support the Bill. It is a question of process. Often the biggest frustration for free countries is the inability to bring obvious offenders—people such as Robert Mugabe—to justice for violations of civil liberties. Is it the Minister's view that the Bill will improve our capacity to bring to justice people around the world who clearly have no regard for human rights?
