"Mr President, we cannot shirk our responsibilities. The war against Iraq, based on the falsehood that weapons of mass destruction were present in the country, US militarisation and the principle of pre-emptive, indefinite war, has endangered the whole human race, forcing us to live in fear of terrorist crimes and the suffering they cause. We cannot fail to mention – it is our duty – that the USA’s imperalist policy is destroying not just life, land, history and culture but the entire system of world relations, the United Nations Pact and international law. We cannot just turn the page and pretend that nothing has happened. We must build and rebuild our relations with the USA, with the countries of the world, with due respect for human and civil rights, pursuing justice and rejecting double standards, as in the case of the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Saddam Hussein has vanished into thin air, and, I, together with the Iraqis, can only rejoice, but the situation is unstable and the occupying forces must be replaced by an Iraqi government which includes women and is coordinated by the United Nations. The European Union must do its part, promoting reconstruction and economic aid, the reestablishment of democracy and the access for Iraq to its own resources. France, Germany, Belgium, the Pope and the crowds of pacifists have given the European Union and Europe credibility in that part of the world. Let us therefore continue to pursue a path leading, as I said, to respect for rights and not oppression and occupation."@en1
