SECRET Foreign and Commonwealth Office views on contingency plans for the possible arrival of President Arnin Powers to refuse entry - paragraph 5 In the Foreign and Commonwealth Office view, even if President Amin disregards the Prime Minister's message that his presence in the UK is unacceptable, and arrives with a delegation, he must be allowed, if he wishes, to nominate a delegation to represent Uganda at the CHGM. The whole basis of the UK soundings of the Commonwealth aimed at their eventual acquiescence in Amin's personal exclusion is that Uganda should not be excluded from the CHGM. The FCO agree that there might be difficulties if President Amin were to nominate a leader or members of a delegation who were unacceptable on personal grounds. But the issue of admission should be left to final decision at the time, with the aim of securing agreement with Amin in negotiation on the nomination of a delegation acceptable to both him and the Government. Amin's Arrival Foreign and Commonwealth Legal advice is to the effect that Amin's personal aircraft may be regarded, for the purposes of the Chicago Convention, as a State Aircraft. It would therefore be desirable to inform its pilot that he has no clearance to enter British airspace or to land in Britain. If the aircraft - carrying President Amin were then to depart, there would be the risk, referred to above, that President Amin could claim that Uganda was being excluded from representation at the CHGM altogether. In these circumstances HM Government would have to make it clear to Commonwealth Member Governments, the Commonwealth Secretary-General, and probably in a public statement as well, that HM Government have denied clearance to the aircraft carrying President Amin, but remained ready to give entry to a Ugandan delegation led by a special representative appointed by President Amin. The FCO agrees that if possible an aircraft carrying President Amin should be directed to Brize Norton, or, failing that, to Heathrow. Full regard should be paid to all safety procedures. Any risk of placing an aircraft carrying President Amin, and his entourage, in hazard should be scrupulously avoided. Paragraph 1g The action in a, b and c should be carried out with as much courtesy and discretion on the British side as possible. President Amin should be allowed to have one or two personal aides with him in his own company, even if separated from the rest of the party. SECRET
