lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, hearing these accounts of misery related each time we meet here in Strasbourg makes me wonder what we can actually do to help. In Sierra Leone, not only are UN soldiers and British soldiers taken hostage, a complete nation has been held hostage for years We are accessories to this, if only through the diamond trade. On 5 July, the Security Council instituted an embargo on diamonds from Sierra Leone. The European Union should now pull out all the stops in order to make this embargo happen and to stop all trade in blood diamonds. I believe that, for this reason, it is not sufficient to curb the diamond trade in Sierra Leone. We should also continue to support the Government, but I also believe that support for the war tribunal is absolutely necessary. We need to put an end to the immunity from punishment whereby people can use weapons to kill their fellow-citizens."@en1
