"Madam President, we are optimistic about today’s debate, because it seems to me there is a great deal of unanimity here. However, on the other hand, there have, in fact, already been very many such debates here, and we are very good at talking. I do not want to fly into a holy rage because I am a hypocrite, just like basically everyone in this Chamber. A hypocrite who is dependent on something – on those cheap goods from China. However, at this moment perhaps, we ought to have enough self-respect to speak categorically and oppose certain things, and to respect those ideals which are dear to us.
Perhaps the first and most important step will be something which has already been mentioned here, something we have talked about. I am referring to the appointment of a special coordinator for Tibet. Someone who will guide the process, someone who will take responsibility on our behalf for the challenge related to the problem of Tibet, so that we will not sit on the fence, and so that we will say firmly and resolutely that human rights and civil liberties are important to us. Let us do this. Let us do it now."@en1
