James Stinson, Shadow Foreign Secretary of Luthori and Deputy Leader of the Royal Conservative Party;
Madame General Secretary, I do not endorse or agree with what the Ambassador said, but I question your authority to make them retract it or to even eject them, you can simply indicate they are not permitted to speak, you did not do this, you asked for a recanting, which invites a reply anyway, and you threatened removal which is beyond your power. I do not believe you have the power to suspend or remove anyone, you can simply not give them the floor to talk at your discretion, which is better served by not asking them to do something and inviting them to speak again.
Freedom in this chamber must include saying things or having believes that may differ from your own or others, Beiteynu obviously believe women should be at home, it was not long ago that Luthori had these laws too, luckily the RCP and myself reversed this and gave them equal working rights. But, we respect other nations, religions and cultures are different. We cannot have an open dialogue between so many different people without some views we disagree with, the Ambassador was not insulting the General Secretary, he was talking about the legal position of the right to work for women in Beiteynu, and I know that country is not alone in this position, however crassly he put it.
As for the question raised by the Human Rights Foundation's representative, could Secretary-General Pyakuryal list the nations they claim present an immediate threat to the lives of their own citizens?
