". – I wish to record my absolute abhorrence of the war against Iraq, which is in breach of international law and natural justice. Unilateral action by the US and UK Governments endangers world peace, regional stability and undermines the authority of the United Nations.
I am deeply disappointed at some Member States and applicant countries who give military support to the conflict. I am further disappointed at the hypocritical stance adopted by the Irish Government. It parades a fictitious commitment to neutrality while allowing US army planes to use Shannon airport despite the clear condemnation by the Irish people of the action in which these planes are engaged.
I call on Parliament to demand the immediate end of this illegal war. Parliament should call upon the United Nations Security Council to be convened, to take control of the situation and to mandate the Secretary-General to initiate steps to stop the war. The United Nations Security Council should also authorise the deployment of UN human rights monitors throughout Iraq. Iraqi and Kurdish authorities should provide the monitors with full access and cooperation to protect the Iraqi population, including the Kurdish population of northern Iraq, now potentially at risk of attack from Turkey."@en1
