lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, socialists on the left condemn sectarian violence against all minorities, regardless of whether they are religious believers, non-believers or members of ethnic minority groups. The dramatic increase in sectarian violence in Syria, Pakistan and Iran is an expression of the general instability and volatility in that region of the world, but this increase is not limited to those states that are listed which, coincidentally, happen to be the same states that are currently not in favour with western imperialism. In reality the upsurges of sectarian violence, including against Christians, are all spillover effects of various crisis situations that have destabilised the region and have deepened divisions along various ethnic and religious lines. Some of those dividing lines have been deliberately exploited by imperialist forces to serve their own interests, for example in Afghanistan or Iraq. The strategy of divide and rule has created its own dynamics, much as Goethe described in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, ‘Sir, my need is sore. Spirits that I’ve cited my commands ignore’. The only way to halt the breeding ground for sectarian violence is the prospect of a secure, stable and decent future for all."@en1
