In supporting this resolution I wish to put on record my concern about the three suicides reported from Guantánamo this past weekend, and continuing use of extraordinary rendition by the CIA on behalf of the United States with the cooperation and collusion of many European governments. These governments, including the Irish Government, are violating their own charter as to Human Rights, which means we have sunk to an appalling level where one must question the viability of international law.
Any government that believes in the fundamental principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, or in such statements as that of the European Convention on Human Rights, must not just unequivocally condemn what is happening in Guantánamo, but must campaign for its immediate closure.
No campaign against international terrorism is served by operating outside of international law in its most fundamental aspects. Indeed, the United States Supreme Court itself has spoken in the past on the importance of not using tyrannical methods in dealing with what was suggested as the threat of tyranny.
The international community is tested by its willingness to achieve the closure of Guantánamo and related facilities immediately."@en1
