"Mr President, on 29 July 2009, Iraqi troops violently stormed the Iranian refugee camp in Ashraf and shot or beat to death 11 people living there. The attack was repeated on 8 April this year, when 35 were killed, either by bullet wounds or by being crushed by armoured vehicles. Baroness Ashton, you were warned months ago by Members of Parliament that this latest massacre was going to occur, and we repeatedly asked you to act on this. You ignored our warnings for months and only reacted after the catastrophe. Although better late than never, the next aggression could be a bloodbath of horrendous proportions if you fail to make this humanitarian crisis one of the top priorities on your agenda right now. There is a solution, as Mr Stevenson explained to you. We hope you will take immediate and firm action to make it possible, and we welcome the commitment you made this morning. Three thousand four hundred defenceless men and women, surrounded by tanks, are looking to us, trusting that our actions will match up to our values. Parliament has done, is doing and will do everything in its power. We are asking you to have the same interest in saving these lives. If you act as we hope, you will have us at your side. If not, your conscience and this Chamber will hold you to account."@en1
