In a sense what the Minister of State said concerning UN Resolution 1511 recognises those facts. We should now demand that the invading countries transfer power and responsibility to the locals at the very earliest stage. There is an opportunity for this early transfer of power to be part of a broader plan of rebuilding the work and the role of the United Nations across the globe. The United Nations cannot replay what has happened since last Christmas but if it can now seize a supervisory role in the handover of power from the present coalition to a broad-based Iraqi administration it would be a major step forward, not just for Iraq but also for the United Nations. There is a great degree of urgency about this issue because as long as there is a political vacuum – the Minister of State referred to this – and no clear route map or timetable for handing over power, the uncertainty and doubt among the Iraqi people will fuel the opportunity of Saddam's henchmen. The terrorists on the ground will gain more momentum and support and a vicious cycle of killings, mayhem and murder unfortunately will continue.
