Mr. Chairman. there is something obscene about declaring that a whole people cannot be allowed the weapons to defend itself against genocide. and there is something monstrously obscene about the cowardice of the international community refusing to protect the safe havens that they themselves established. Srebrenica and Zepa and the others that are to come from the indiscriminate slaughter of males of all ages. the mass rape of women. the bombardment of fleeing civilian refugees. there is something overwhelmingly obscene about genocide in all its forms. It was obscene. and overwhelmingly so. in the 1930s and 1940s. It led to the near extermination of Jews in Europe and to the death of many more millions of Poles and other Slavic people from Eastern Europe.
