"Madam President, I believe that on this day, when we are negotiating the UN arms trade treaty, we should also take a serious look at ourselves. We make a pretence of being world champions in the protection of human rights and the protection of lawfulness; meanwhile, European firms, manufacturers and particularly retailers also give their systems to third countries, and even to those countries where they should not be going at all. This sorrows me greatly, and I am appalled by the fact that another major player on the world stage, Russia, continues to supply Syria with weapons systems which it uses for the destruction of the natural democratisation in its country. The transit and sales of arms cannot be so difficult to control, and I believe that this is a wonderful example of how toothless we are in the absence of a system of sanctions against those who violate this treaty."@en1
