I have no doubt that the American Government accepts its responsibilities in this regard and, like Senator Brian Hayes, I am encouraged by the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1511. We now have an international willingness to move forward in a productive manner. However, the international community has a responsibility to maintain pressure on the US Government to ensure it fulfils all elements of Resolution 1511. I hope the Iraq Governing Council meets its December deadline, which will allow for elections which will establish a government of the Iraqi people. It is only by doing this that we can ensure peace and stability in Iraq.
