lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, in the minute available I will do my best to take stock of the dreadful situation in Iraq. It is important that we remember that the intervention in Iraq was a catastrophic failure of judgement and politics on the part of the Western community, and those in favour of intervention should hang their heads in shame. We have tipped Iraq into the abyss and women are suffering, men are suffering, children are suffering, but it is right that in this resolution we take stock of the dreadful situation of women in particular. We have a couple of ideas in the text. There is much in the text to admire: paragraph 12 in particular raises the plight of the LGBT community within Iraq. Paragraph 13 urges Iraq to implement UN Security Council resolution 1325 on women, peace and security. We do have a few ideas within this resolution about how to improve the situation of women in Iraq, but we have a historic responsibility to the women, men and children of Iraq to not walk away and to remain engaged to make their lives better."@en1
