"Mr President, what is happening in Zimbabwe is remarkably sad and overwhelmingly atrocious. Mr Mugabe, a former fighter for freedom from colonial slavery, has now turned into a ruthless dictator and a barbaric suppressor of justice and the human rights of millions of his countrymen.
The international community – the EU included – has exhausted itself with its rhetoric, statements of condemnation and largely ineffective sanctions.
The time has come for re-election. To this end, I believe that Mr Mugabe should be brought before an international criminal court, charged with crimes against humanity. I strongly believe that such a measure is fully justified and realistic and will, I am sure, bring about the desired and urgently needed effect, which is to help the people of Zimbabwe get rid of a totalitarian regime that is fast leading the country into self-destruction. I believe the EU needs to be a protagonist in the move to bring Mugabe to face international justice."@en1
