"Mr President, there has been a debate, which I think has been very diverse, around not only the Goldstone report itself, but also around the prior situation that triggered the report. I think that we can say once again on behalf of the Presidency that the Goldstone report is a reference point, as the Council has said, and as Mrs Georgieva has said on behalf of the Commission, and I thank her for her speech. It is a reliable report, it appears to be objective and it expresses the existence or possible existence of extremely serious human rights violations originating from different parts of the conflict. The European Union cannot remain indifferent in response to the content of the Goldstone report. The European Union cannot remain indifferent in response to a report which objectively and reliably relates the possibility of some very serious human rights violations. We therefore believe that the proposal arising from this report – which is to conduct independent, credible investigations – is the most appropriate way to respond to the report, which is an important report that should affect all of us. It should provoke a reaction in those of us who, as is the case in the European Union and Parliament, believe in the existence of human rights and in defending them. It should therefore provoke us to react to the extremely serious human rights violations that have taken place in this case. The debate on this report is going to take place, and we believe that this debate in the United Nations should be supported. It is also going to be debated in the Human Rights Council. We can tell you that the International Criminal Court is working on this and investigating it, and I think that the European Union should therefore maintain a constructive, coordinated position, in relation to the extremely serious matters raised in the Goldstone report, and this is what the Presidency of the Council will do."@en1
