Seanad debates

Friday, 21 March 2003

Resolutions 678 and 687 do not provide a basis for any action such as the one being taken. They, and all the other resolutions, reserve the right of the Security Council to remain seized of the situation. The seeking of a second resolution acknowledged this. In any event, the forthcoming Geneva convention on the protection of civilians and children in times of war will rule out the conduct of war in the conditions described by many speakers today. It is, for example, illegal to damage infrastructure required for the protection and sustenance of children.
