"Mr President, I have now been told on two occasions that an oral question concerning the referendum on the future of South Sudan will not be reinstated in the order of business. I should remind you that, according to the comprehensive peace agreement of 2005, South Sudan has the opportunity, at the end of a five-year period, of voting whether or not to remain as part of the Sudanese state. The referendum is scheduled to take place on 9 January next. However, a number of unresolved issues, namely, the drawing up of electoral lists, the settlement of differences concerning the border between the North and the South, not to mention the security measures to be taken if the need arises, should have been the subject of an exchange of views in this House. If we keep on endlessly postponing the debate, we shall deprive ourselves of our right to provide political momentum. That is my point of view. I persist in believing that it would be more judicious to try and prevent conflict situations than to stand by and wait for tragedies to erupt."@en1
