I fully support his comments on that point.

In the beginning, I supported Google s presence in China.

To this day, I still can't disagree entirely.

I associate myself with that statement, and therefore I shall make only a few comments.

Mr. Issa (Egypt) I fully endorse the statement of the representative of Indonesia.

I fully support the conclusions and recommendations contained in his reports and call for their implementation.

I wish to associate myself with the statement made by the youth representative of the United Kingdom on behalf of the European Union.

While I am well aware of the sensitivities involved in this issue, I strongly agree with this approach.

I wish to associate myself with the statement made by the representative of Jamaica on behalf of the Group of 77 and China.

Later in the debate, the representative of Luxembourg will speak on behalf of the European Union I support that statement.

For two and a half years, I supported Musharraf and believed his promises to bring genuine democracy to Pakistan.

In that regard, I fully associate myself with the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Nigeria on behalf of the African Union.

I strongly support efforts currently under way to encourage high level donor participation in this important event.

To that end, I support the creation of a democracy fund at the United Nations to provide assistance to countries seeking to establish or strengthen their democracy.

Mr. Duclos (France) (spoke in French) At the outset, it will come as no surprise to you, Mr. President, that I associate myself with the statement that you will be making on behalf of the European Union.

I therefore support the position set out in the report of the High level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change (A 59 565) concerning the reforms of the Security Council, namely

I support executing some people convicted of murder because and only because I believe that it deters other murders.

Indeed, in Mashad on March 21, Ayatollah Khamenei said, There were some rumors that I support a special candidate for the presidential elections.

Regarding financing for development, I support the proposal made by President Jacques Chirac that a small tax be added to the cost of air travel.

Nevertheless, I support the use of fiscal stimulus in the US, because the current recession is much deeper than and different from previous downturns.

I support the proposal made by my friend President Chirac for a solidarity levy on airline tickets, and I know that other countries, such as Chile, have already adopted such measures.

I support Geithner s plan to cooperate with private investors in dealing with the banks toxic assets, because they make better business decisions than government bureaucrats.

I associate myself with his statement, and I shall therefore limit myself to mentioning several problems of specific interest to my country, adding a general comment about some of the items on our agenda.

I am so proud of the campaign, and I think it was beautifully shot and lovingly edited with women s health issues at heart. I stand by that, and I will defend it and my decision to be a part of it.

If I may, let me associate myself with the remarks I just heard made by my Norwegian colleague about the need to accelerate our focus on the disgraceful record of sexual exploitation in too many United Nations missions.

I support his position, but I should like to add that there has been a dual historic injustice in respect of Latin America and the Caribbean countries, which likewise are not represented in the Security Council with a permanent seat.

I endorse the Mission's recommendation that such an investigation be established. The aim would be to reach conclusions as complete as possible about who was responsible for the assassination of Mr. Hariri and the deaths of 19 others.

I fully embrace the broad vision that the report articulates and its case for a more comprehensive concept of collective security one that tackles new threats and old and that addresses the security concerns of all States.

In the light of the conditions prevailing in the area, I support the extension and recommend that the Security Council extend the mandate of UNIFIL until 31 January 2006 with no changes to the strength and composition of the Force.

Although severe assaults, including some gruesome rapes, may approach some murders in severity, and might conceivably call for capital punishment, I do not support its use in these cases.

I think that's the reason there is as much tolerance toward nationalities, ethnicities, religions as there is today. If you asked me, you know, why am I not in favor of bombing Japan, well, I'm only half joking when I say they built my car.

As a youth representative, I fully support these actions and hope that all Member States can learn from the results achieved so far by the Youth Employment Network, and especially from best practices provided by lead countries.

I am personally sympathetic to Scotland s independence as a way to bolster Scottish democracy and cultural identity. Yet I support independence only on the assumption that Scotland and the RUK would remain part of a strong and effective EU and NATO.

In broad strokes, this requires a deliberate and significant boost to research and development spending. Based on recent work by Isabel Galiana and Chris Green of McGill University, I advocate expenditure totaling around 0.2 of global GDP roughly 100 billion a year.

I advocate this for the old fashioned Keynesian reason that we are suffering from a deficiency of aggregate demand, that the multiplier is positive, and that the most effective way to reduce the private and public debts a year or two down the line is by taking steps to boost growth in national income now.

Mr. Abdelaziz (Egypt) (spoke in Arabic) At the outset, let me express our appreciation for the reports of the Secretary General on the agenda items under discussion. We endorse the statements made by the representative of Jamaica on behalf of the Group of 77 and China and by the representative of Namibia on behalf of the Group of African States. We also thank you, Sir, for your opening statement at this meeting, which made a unique contribution to our debate.

Because someone at the milk board, right and don't get me wrong, I support milk but someone at the milk board probably paid a lot of money for some geezer to work out that if you put loads of flavorings and colorings and sugar in milk, right, more kids will drink it. Yeah.
