Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

I will be brief. Does the Minister still agree that the title of the group is unfortunate? I understand he made this point originally. If such groups had been called human rights protection groups, which would reflect the move away from humanitarian intervention and towards humanitarian protection in UN thinking, it would provide an entirely different view. Is it not the case that different humanitarian protection groups could reply and respond with different speeds, given their constitutional context? When the time comes to legislate to accommodate any participation, could the Minister acknowledge this in, possibly, the title of such groups?
