    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 16 of the Bill be amended- (a) by deleting paragraph (1)(a) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph- \"(a) shall be subject to rights and obligations contained in international conventions to which Kenya is a party\"; (b) in subclause (4) by deleting the words \"be entitled to the same rights\", \"if any\" and \"imposed generally\". I propose these amendments because Kenya is a signatory to many international conventions. Although there are two specific ones that relate to refugees other human rights conventions on the rights of women, the rights of the child and war crimes will apply to refugees generally, and the determination of refugee status. I am suggesting that we have an omnibus clause that involves all international conventions, and not to limit ourselves specifically to refugee conventions. I beg to propose the amendments."
