".
The true motives behind this resolution can be understood by reading the resolution on Transatlantic relations, debated in this plenary session, which calls for a partnership between the EU and the United States and their ‘active commitment to a reform of the UN, and in particular its Security Council, including its composition ... with the authority to grant permission for the use of force to solve international conflicts and in order to make it more effective and accountable and increase its capacity to implement its decisions’.
In spite of its muddy language, the resolution is unable to conceal its intention to ‘legitimise’ and ‘normalise’ the adoption of ‘preventative measures’ ‘humanitarian intervention’ and ‘the possibility of using force’ by armies of EU countries ‘converted’ into forces of external intervention.
In other words, the intention is to transform the UN into a body – with the USA pulling the strings, in tandem with the EU, by which I mean France, the United Kingdom and Germany – that ‘glosses over’ its imperialist policies, and its interference and attacks on the sovereignty of States and peoples.
The resolution therefore endorses the ongoing militarisation of the EU and covets a seat on the Security Council for this political and military bloc in the making, once the so-called ‘European Constitution’ has been ratified.
Hail the ‘no’ votes in the French and Dutch referenda!"@en1
