I have voted in favour of this even-handed resolution, which condemns totalitarianism in every shape or form. The 20
century was the century that saw the most shocking massacres in history. Nazi-Germany, Soviet Russia, Cambodia, China and Rwanda are reminders of the absolute madness and cruelty which people are capable of inflicting on their fellow man when tyranny prevails over freedom. I have one reservation, though. I refuse to create a hierarchy of suffering. Every case of suffering is unique and deserves our respect, whether the people involved are Jews, Tutsis, Kulaks, Russian prisoners of war or Polish priests. This is why I abstained in the case of Amendment 19."@en1
