speech at the 67th UN General Assembly, New York, Tuesday, September
25, 2012)
***
"May I recall that this Assembly has been able to assert one
principle: States have all the responsibility to ensure the security
of their civilians.
"And if a state were to fail this obligation, it is incumbent upon us,
upon the UN, to engage means to assume it in its stead.
"Let's not bury this promise for it could be useful.
"I think in particular to what is happening in the Democratic Republic
of Congo, where civilians are the principal victims of clashes and
where interferences should cease as rapidly as possible."
