Agb Voorsitter, ek gee hiermee kennis namens die DA dat ek op die volgende sittingsdag van Raad sal voorstel:
Dat die Raad kennis neem dat - 1) fotos in die Rapport van 19 Junie 2011 toon dat wapens van Suid- Afrikaanse vervaardiging deur die Libiese weermag onder Muammar Gaddafi op sy eie mense gebruik word, veral teen vroue en kinders;
2) Minister Lindiwe Sisulu voorheen ontken het dat Suid-Afrikaanse wapens aan Gaddafi verkoop is, terwyl Minister Jeff Radebe, voorsitter van die National Conventional Arms Control Committee, NCACC, later erken het dat konvensionele wapens wat menseverlies kan veroorsaak, aan Libi verkoop is;
3) die verskoning dat hierdie wapens voor die uitbreek van die opstand aan Libi verkoop is, 'n vlou verskoning is en dat die verkoop van wapens aan diktators indruis teen die morele waardes van demokrasie; en
4) die ANC regering skuldig is aan swak oordeel en medepligtig is aan die onderhoud van diktatoriale regerings wat mense onderdruk en uitmoor. (Translation of Afrikaans draft resolution follows.)
[Mr M J R DE VILLIERS: Chairperson, I hereby give notice on behalf of the DA that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) takes note of the photos in the Rapport of 19 June 2011 which show that arms of South African manufacture are being used on its own people by the Libyan defence force under Muammar Gaddafi, in particular against women and children;
2) further notes that Minister Lindiwe Sisulu has previously denied that South African arms had been sold to Gaddafi, while Minister Jeff Radebe, Chairperson of the National Conventional Arms Control Committee, NCACC, later on admitted that conventional arms which could result in the loss of human life had been sold to Libya;
3) acknowledges that the excuse that these arms had been sold before the outbreak of the revolution in Libya is a weak one that goes against the moral democratic value of not selling arms to dictators; and
4) takes note that the ANC government is guilty of poor judgment and is party to the maintenance of dictatorial governments that suppress and butcher people.]
