Madam President, in view of the failure of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s judicial system to hold armed groups to account for their atrocities, I welcome the extension of the UN’s mandate until 30 June 2012. At the same time, however, I would like to appeal to the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative in the Democratic Republic of Congo to ensure that the mandate is implemented rigorously, in order to avoid situations where rebels rape women and abuse children and whole families next door to the mission’s camp, as happened in Luvungi.
We adopt very strict resolutions and measures against injustice elsewhere in the world and deploy entire armies, yet we treat genocides in Africa more benevolently. What other name, indeed, can we give to the events in the Democratic Republic of Congo between 1998 and 2003, when 5.5 million people perished, which is equivalent to the entire population of my own country, Slovakia, and 2 million were forced from their homes? We, too, should contribute towards a peaceful life for women and children in this war-torn African country through the more rigorous adoption of resolutions."@en1
