Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Ronnie Downes:
It might be colleagues in the Department of Foreign Affairs. To go back to the EU-Israel association agreement, Article 2 of that agreement refers to respect for human rights as an essential element of that agreement and that is the basis on which the Taoiseach as I understand it, as well as the Spanish Prime Minister, requested an urgent review. As regards these other legal treaties and instruments the Deputy references, the genocide convention, etc, I am afraid I am not qualified to speak to those.
