"I voted for this resolution. There are three aspects to the Agreement. The first is political and involves the introduction of an annual dialogue at ministerial and at senior official level on peace, foreign and security policy, national dialogue and reconciliation, democracy, the rule of law, human rights, good governance and regional stability and integration. Clauses on combating terrorism, countering proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the fight against the illicit trade of small arms and light weapons are included in the Agreement. With specific regard to human rights, the agreement very importantly features a specific clause concerning cooperation on the accession of Iraq to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and a clause on cooperation in the promotion and effective protection of human rights in Iraq with the important caveat that failure by Iraq to protect, enhance and respect human rights will negatively affect cooperation and economic development programmes. This approach is certainly most welcome, although a stricter conditionality would have given greater emphasis on the importance of substantial progress in human rights. It is recommended that the bilateral discussions with Iraqi authorities highlight the particular importance the EU attaches to the observance of human rights and individual fundamental freedoms."@en1
