"Mr President, I wish to highlight today Camp Ashraf located in Iraq, which accommodates 3 400 Iranian dissidents living in extremely tough conditions. The UN announced recently that these people must be protected internationally from the persecution they are subjected to in their own country and called for their fundamental rights to be respected. However, the Iraqi prime minister declared that he would like to close the camp by the end of this year, thereby creating the conditions for an extremely dire humanitarian situation.
In light of this, the European Union’s appointment of a representative responsible for Camp Ashraf is a positive step. This is why I believe that he must be involved in having the deadline for disbanding the camp postponed until the refugees can be transferred safely to third countries. It is also the duty of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to administer rapidly the process of resettling these persons and guarantee them protection. The situation of the Iranian asylum seekers in Camp Ashraf can only be resolved peacefully."@en1
