lpv:translated text	". I am unable to vote in favour of the report, as it is vague about some major human rights problems and ignores others completely. I will give five examples of this. Firstly, no mention is made of the abuse and torture committed in Iraq by members of the US forces. No explicit reference is made to the persons who committed these offences. One looks in vain for calls for criminal proceedings to be brought before the International Criminal Court. Secondly, no reference is made to the continuing occupation of Iraq, or to the violations of human rights that are going on there day in, day out. The report does not condemn this breach of international law. Thirdly, the Western states’ wars of intervention and the violations of human rights associated with them are not discussed. Not one line of text is devoted to the Iraqi civilians – of whom there were over 100 000 – killed in the course of the onslaught by the ‘Coalition of the Willing’. There is no condemnation of the military interventions – described as ‘humanitarian interventions’ – on the pretext of combating terrorism, or of the ‘war of disarmament’, all of which happened in contravention of international law. Fourthly, the risks to human rights arising from the militarisation of the EU, in particular as a result of it being enshrined in the EU’s Constitution, are not treated as an issue. It is a scandal that no mention whatever is made of the human rights situation in Turkey, and the assertion that it will be considered in a separate report does nothing to remedy that omission. It is incomprehensible that this should be passed over in silence, particularly in view of the increasing number of human rights violations in the country."@en1
