Julian Walker is a former British diplomat.[1]
first arrived in Sharjah as a junior British official in late 1953, and in the following year became Assistant Political Officer in Dubai. He was political agent in Dubai in 1971, at the time of the formation of the United Arab Emirates.[2]
He later served as ambassador to Yemen, and then Qatar. He worked on the Iraq-Kuwait border question following the 1991 Gulf War.[3]
In 2005, Walker featured in a story on the enforced return of failed asylum seekers to Iraq:
- Julian Walker, policy officer at the Kurdish Cultural Centre, said: 'If they are sent back to unsafe areas, they may well be killed. They won't be given any help or training so they can't really help with reconstruction work even if there are any jobs for them.'
- He said the centre had received reports of ethnic Kurds from non-Kurdish parts of the country, as well as non-Kurds, being picked up during the Home Office operation.[4]
