"Mr President, I have of course myself been a Member of the European Parliament and myself been involved in formulating decisions in cases where atrocities and acts of cruelty have taken place in countries around the world. What can be done in many of these cases is what I have stated in this House on behalf of the Council. Appeals can be made and investigations carried out, and the countries in question can be held to the obligations they have signed up to. As a rule, it is of course difficult – and forgive me for saying this – to invade the countries in question and engage in policing. I therefore think that, in this case, the Council is doing precisely what Parliament does on many occasions when it makes appeals, adopts decisions, holds countries to obligations they have entered into, refers to international conventions they have signed, and so on. That is what we have done and that is what can in fact be done in this type of case. Moreover, I can assure you that, in the immediate future too, the situation will be very carefully monitored by the Council."@en1
