Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to take 20 seconds to acknowledge the presence of David Kilgour, a former minister and member of Parliament who was very much engaged in these issues while in Parliament. He continues to be engaged in them outside of Parliament. I welcome him here today.
My question, because it flows from your testimony, is to you, Mr. Genser. Do you consider it somewhat anomalous that there have been United Nations Security Council resolutions and sanctions regarding Iran's processing of enriched uranium on the road to becoming a nuclear power, which Iran has itself denied, and about which some of its own citizens have rightly claimed that Iran should have as much right as anybody else to develop civil uses and peaceful uses of atomic power, and that there have been no sanctions with regard to the massive domestic repression of human rights, on which we've heard abundant testimony today, and no sanctions with respect to the state-sanctioned incitement to genocide, a breach of the genocide convention itself?
Does this somehow undermine the case regarding the sanctions with regard to the nuclear issue? The real danger of the nuclear issue comes, it seems to me, because it's anchored in a state that is otherwise a human rights violator and engaged in state-sanctioned incitement to genocide.
So are we on the one hand undermining one case for the sanctions and somewhat sanitizing the other categories of violations and concern?
