"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a situation persists of armed conflict, extrajudicial executions, violence against women, utter violation of children’s rights, enlistment, maltreatment, violence against minors, mass evacuations, arms trading and exploitation of vast natural resources, torture and inhumane and degrading treatment, application of the death penalty, repression of freedom of expression and of human rights defenders and, last but not least, impunity. All these criticisms are known to the international community which, via the United Nations Security Council and General Assembly, has already made clear its deep concern on several occasions. The United Nations, like the whole international community, has responsibilities and they are undeniable. It is justifiable to review the terms of the MONUC as well as the EUPOL and EUSEC missions, as with all humanitarian interventions. We have a duty to support the countries of the African Union on their journey towards full, effective compliance with the international agreements on the protection of human rights. This area of land, paradoxically, the victim of enormous economic interests, must not become a no man’s land subject to exploitation, but instead be able to become liberated, by establishing, and being subject to, a respected, guaranteed legal system. The Congo is a country in which men like Floribert Chebeya Bahizire die in uncertain circumstances. Therefore, the European Union has a moral duty to provide valid, decisive political intervention in favour of compliance with international rules on human rights."@en1
