"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the UN Human Rights Council has adopted the Goldstone report by an overwhelming majority.
Nevertheless, the names of too many of the countries that make up this large majority – China, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan – give us pause for thought and make us concerned about its composition. We wonder when we read that it is these countries, which do not exactly set an example where human rights are concerned, that are calling for Israel and Hamas to carry out in-depth investigations into the human rights violations committed during ‘Operation Cast Lead’.
We do not intend to side with either of the warring parties, preferring to maintain a balanced judgment, voicing the need to guarantee Israel’s security within its borders and the right to exist of the State of Israeli and of the Palestinian State, and stating our opposition to the use of violence, terrorism and war to resolve conflicts.
Our Christian culture and our conception of mankind and of history give us cause to hope that all the violations committed will be punished in a firm and balanced way."@en1
