"The main reason for our voting against this joint resolution is the approval of parts of the resolution that seek to justify war and US intervention in Afghanistan, a situation which is all the more serious because of all of the US pressure for a new war against Iraq. In fact, we totally disagree with resorting to war to resolve the problems of terrorism. As we have stated repeatedly, there are other ways of combating terrorism, such as acting to resolve its direct and indirect causes. By the same token, we cannot accept the calling into question of fundamental rights and freedoms or the practice of State terrorism on the pretext of combating terrorism.
Nevertheless, we welcome – which is why we have voted in favour of this point – the approval of the request for a detailed investigation, under the auspices of the United Nations, of the allegations of massacres and war crimes, which our group has condemned on more than one occasion, specifically by inviting the film-maker Jamie Doran to show his film in the European Parliament on 12 June. We also support the call for greater financial aid for the economic and social reconstruction of the country and urgent humanitarian aid."@en1
