Thomas Hammarberg has a long connection with Ireland, going back to the late 1960s and early 1970s, when he was involved in monitoring human rights violations committed in prisons in Northern Ireland. At the time, he was head of the Swedish section of Amnesty International. Hammarberg drove the initiatives within Amnesty International to make abolition of the death penalty one of the components of the organisation mandate.
Mr Hammarberg has introduced a solution to mr lenihan's confussion. He has done well as to analyse the situation from a wise point of view. I urge lenihan to heed and take a queue from the forward thinking of Hammarberg
