lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I should like to draw Members' attention to a very disturbing recent report by Amnesty International. Amnesty International is an organisation that Parliament has used on many occasions to highlight human rights abuses around the world. The rogue states that Amnesty International points the finger at have always dismissed the reports by Amnesty International and it is very alarming that in this case the same thing is happening again. The report in question is the report on the war in Kosovo. Amnesty International has found that NATO was in breach of many international laws as regards human rights. It is extremely important that the Member States do not dismiss Amnesty International's report, because its reports have always been balanced, they have always highlighted any human rights abuses that are occurring, irrespective of how the report will be received. Javier Solana, who is now head of CFSP within the European Union, was Secretary-General of NATO at the time and because of this gross abuse of human rights, Parliament has to take Amnesty International's report seriously. We cannot allow NATO or any other organisation around the world to abuse human rights, to ignore international law and to kill innocent civilians. This is not acceptable."@en1
