"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in the international community we are undoubtedly staking much of our credibility on events in Afghanistan. Emma Bonino, the leader of my political party, was arrested by the Taliban for her mere presence, as a European Commissioner, and was held in detention for some hours precisely because of her presence in defence of women’s rights.
Despite the divisions and differing views on armed intervention, and regardless of the positions that have been taken, we cannot allow the situation to deteriorate in this way with regard to women’s rights.
Six years ago, we, the Nonviolent Radical Party, organised a
: a non-violent world action advocating the presence of women among the ministers of the Afghan Government. Today what is needed is a new mobilisation of the international community to ensure that not only are women’s rights protected, but that women play a full part at the highest levels of political and institutional life.
We need to clearly ensure that any collaboration we have with the Afghan Government is subject to prudence and caution, which has in any case been called for, but also to the greatest possible firmness of purpose, because it would really be misguided to think that some sort of
towards the fundamentalist parties could end up producing peace in the long term in Afghanistan, as well as in our own cities and countries."@en1
