Mr Deputy President, through you, Mr Speaker, this issue is not about the "One China" policy. It is about human rights and human rights violations. There have been extensive human rights violations in Tibet. There was the kidnapping of the Panchen Lama, which is the most famous child kidnapping case in history. There have been extensive violations throughout the world, and the ANC government is not responding. And now, Mr Deputy President, there are no negotiations and there have not been negotiations. There is no statement from the South African government that I or anyone else is aware of that encourages China to negotiate. The negotiations broke down right after the Olympic Games. Before then, they were set up as a showcase.
The question, Mr Deputy President, through you, Mr Speaker, is that when we say never, never again, do we mean never, never again in South Africa or anywhere else in the world? If we mean the latter, where are the condemnations of the human rights abuses in Tibet, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in Iran, in East Timor to which the South African government sold weapons, and everywhere else where human rights violations take place?
I urge, through your leadership, Mr Deputy President, the government to rise to the challenge to become the human rights conscience of Africa and perhaps the world. Thank you. [Time expired.] [Applause.]
