lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, it is clearly true that there have been developments this weekend but it is too soon to tell what they will amount to. There is considerable doubt as to whether these developments will result in the restoration of full constitutional government in Fiji, so this issue still remains highly important and of topical interest. The Indo-Fijians, the Indian population of Fiji, are in considerable danger. There has been lawlessness, damage to property, and cases of assault and rape without any intervention by the security forces in recent weeks. I have had representations to the effect that people are looking to the European Union for some kind of effective action, possibly – and this could be debated in the context of the resolution – some kind of sanctions under the Lomé Convention. I do not want to debate the content now but I do want to ask that this be maintained on the agenda, because after what has happened over the weekend, there is still a risk of considerable discrimination against one ethnic group in Fiji. There is no confidence that the constitution will be applied properly and will be observed. I do not agree that what has happened reduces the topical importance of the issue."@en1
