As I said, the issue of impunity is really a key factor that explains what is happening today. We refer to impunity in relation to crimes committed in the past. I have listed the major events that were actually recorded as having the most serious crimes, including crimes against humanity, war crimes and even crimes of genocide.
All those crimes have gone unpunished because the judiciary, which is embedded in the executive, did not fulfill its mission. The same situation can be applied today. Today's judiciary is like the one of yesterday. There have not really been any substantial changes. That is why—and I must stress this—there is an inherent relationship between the current crisis and previous crises. We cannot resolve the current crisis without looking at past crises.
Of course, the current crisis is very worrisome. Of course, it is urgent to stop the bleeding, as they say, but at the same time, finding a solution to the current crisis would be only a partial solution. If we want to solve the problem of impunity once and for all, we must also develop the solution with the previous crises in mind.
That is why I'm asking Canada to look at how it could become more involved from the outset in determining the mandate of the commission of inquiry that has just been set up by the United Nations. It should not be involved only in determining the mandate of the commission, but also in its operations, while keeping in mind, of course, the inherent and close relationship between the crisis of today and those of the past.
Thank you.
