lpv:translated text	". Mr President, the three absolutely identical resolutions from three totally different ideological groups are evidence of the common concern on the problem of nuclear weapons and, at the same time, conceal a curious, hypocritical undercurrent. Must Iran and North Korea be persuaded by force to stop research into the production of nuclear weapons? Yes, they must. Is it, however, right for us not to concern ourselves with the nuclear weapons in Israel, Pakistan, India or even in permanent members of the Security Council? Are there, in other words, good and bad nuclear weapons? Is it democratic and fair for us to accept that countries in the first category can possess nuclear weapons but for us to control countries in the second category that wish to acquire them? Is it, I wonder, a coincidence that the countries that are doing their utmost for nuclear weapons, starting with the United States, are the very countries that do not participate in the Criminal Court in the Hague, the very countries that are 'snubbing' the Kyoto agreements on the environment? These are the countries that feel they are the leaders of everyone else and are trying to impose their interests by force rather than by logic. Is it right that 25 countries with a joint resolution, joint central bank and joint agricultural policy should not have the same right to nuclear weapons and that only two of the 25 should have the right to nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons are a problem in both Iran and North Korea, but this new cold war being waged between Russia and the United States, in which we are participating, is a bigger problem. Do we dare to send inspectors to the stockrooms of Israel and China? We do not dare to because we cannot impose it. Consequently, we tear up our own credentials as an agency of independence and justice. Perhaps someone can tell us where Iraq's nuclear weapons are. They could not be found and they did not exist. It was, however, the alibi for a brutish invasion .... ( )"@en1
