lpv:translated text	"Mr President, our debate today is confirmed absolutely, I believe, by the recent publication in the Los Angeles Times of the report by five experts from the UN Commission on Human Rights. We must no longer remain impassive observers of this modern barbarity. We must no longer remain silent in the face of the continuing violations of international humanitarian law and international conventions and of the torturing and human degradation in which the United States authorities continue to engage at Guantanamo. The European Union and the Member States must, I believe, take an immediate initiative to bring the matter before the international organisations and the UN and must call for the immediate closure by the United States of the Guantanamo prisons, for a fair trial by an independent international court and for the immediate release of the detainees. I believe that, if we continue to remain silent, this will mean concealment. In the name of the fight against international terrorism, the Bush administration cannot take mankind into a new Middle Ages. Now it is the Guantanamo detainees, tomorrow it may be the detainees in another area, if we do not defend collective humanitarian values and our democratic principles."@en1
