Humanitarian Crisis in Iraq: Statements.

 

At this stage I believe we can play a meaningful and leading role in relation to humanitarian relief for the people of Iraq. We can speak clearly and strongly on the question of rebuilding Iraq when the terrible conflict has ended. My party leader, Deputy Kenny, last night spoke about what he described as the two absolute requirements, first that there must be full respect for Iraqi sovereignty, for its territorial integrity and for its independence, and second the right of the Iraqi people to determine their own political future and to control their own natural resources, which must remain sacrosanct.
