If we insist on observation missions elsewhere, we should accept observers.

The situation is not entirely bleak. President Mwanawasa of Zambia displayed leadership on the issue of arms, which was a positive step forward. Previously that was not there.

This issue also arises in the context of Burma, which we will address in later questions.
