Europa burde klart fordømme denne stat, ikke kun af medlidenhed - ja, jeg siger medlidenhed, og taler her som kristen - med et folk, som i 10 år har været udsat for et sandt martyrium. Vi ser den anden vej, for martyriet viser tilbage til vores egen magtesløshed.
We are now in the middle of a discussion to determine whether we shall condemn a State which is, led by its own President, contravening international law, whereas Europe should quite simply condemn it, not simply out of pity - and I did indeed say pity, speaking as a Christian - for a nation, which has, for ten years, been suffering genuine martyrdom and upon which we are turning our backs because it reminds us of our own powerlessness, but we must, above all, think of the very concept of law, with which Europe has become synonymous for centuries.
