"Mr President, I wanted to begin my speech by expressing my horror at this war in Afghanistan and any other war. We have always spoken out very clearly against the Taliban government and the measures it took against its own population, against women’s rights in particular. But we are also against the deaths of – I believe – thousands of innocent civilians in Afghanistan.
Today we are talking about a weapon which is being used in Afghanistan, a weapon which the United Nations Convention of 1980 called into question, a weapon which is today also the subject of discussion in the Conference taking place in Geneva. A weapon which, together with anti-personnel mines, makes enormous areas of our planet uninhabitable.
Mr President, I believe it should be banned. As simple as that. I even find the fourth paragraph of this resolution, which says that we must provide them with more reliable mechanisms, repellent. I believe that nobody in this House has expressed the horror of any war better than our recent winner of the Sakharov Prize, the Israeli Nurit Peled-Elhanan, who spoke here yesterday."@en1
