Seanad debates

Address by President of the European Parliament.

 

I am proud that the EU, its member states and its accession states have led the drive – we had a referendum here on this – to establish the International Criminal Court, which is the most significant step forward in terms of the protection and promotion of human rights that we have seen on the international stage. It is designed to get at dictators and despots, not at democrats, but there are problems with the USA which are being negotiated. This is an intrinsically proper and good thing to do.
