"Mr President, in my one minute, I should like briefly to emphasise the following: it is a disgrace that there will be no resolution today, obviously because the majority does not want the unprovoked illegal attack by the United States and Great Britain to be condemned. That was also clear from most of the speeches today. Neither the Commissioner nor the Presidency, while condemning the terrorist attack in Riad, had so much as a word, even of disapproval, for the predatory, terrorist, criminal attack by the United States and Great Britain. It is a disgrace! On the contrary, even today they essentially wanted to legalise the crime by unashamedly acknowledging the responsibility of the occupying forces for keeping order and for reconstruction, obviously hoping that the European Union will be given a slice of the pie. It is a disgrace! Neither one nor the other stood up against the position of the United States on a preventive strike, leaving the way clear for the crime to be repeated. Besides, they all, including the European Union, agreed in Prague on the preventive strike. Once again, it is a disgrace, Mr President. It is up to us to roundly condemn the crime. To call for the immediate withdrawal of the occupying forces from Iraq and for the invaders to pay the cost of restoring the damage they caused. For the invaders and their Iraqi associates to be convicted as war criminals. The UN must decide even at this late stage on strict sanctions against the invaders and must supervise payment of the compensation. And finally, for the Iraqi people to be left free to take its fate in its own hands without conquerors. Consequently, the Iraqi people must organise and develop their national resistance. Only the defeat of the conquerors will bring peace and order. We owe them our solidarity."@en1
