lpv:translated text	"Mr President, after eight years – as we have been reminded – of a bloody civil war, the peace agreement signed on 7 July of this year provided the opportunity to end this tragic period and resolve, in a peaceful and lasting way, a conflict which has caused immense suffering to the population. Nevertheless, the hopes which gave rise to this agreement have not been fulfilled and today, five months later, we must note with great concern and sorrow that the rebel attacks against civilians, the killings and rapes, have not only failed to diminish, but have actually increased. Therefore, we Christian Democrats, who have always defended the use of dialogue and reconciliation, wish to repeat our complete condemnation of the acts of violence and violations of human rights which are still being carried out and deplore the delay in the development of the peace process. However, above all, we wish to call on the parties in the conflict to abandon arms for good and respect the commitments contained in the agreement. Since words are not enough, however, and actions are required, we earnestly request that measures be adopted and means provided that will allow compliance with the agreement. In particular, the Security Council of the United Nations must decide to go ahead with the deployment of international peacekeeping forces. Also, the necessary funds must be provided so that the agreement may be put into effect; particularly – and this has already been mentioned – with regard to the promotion of development and education, of all those measures which will finally allow the population of Sierra Leone to come together and live in peace, freedom and democracy."@en1
