    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am still looking at the content of the Report. I had not looked at it fully. I would like to begin with warnings. These are being referred to as the Hague Conventions. It bothers me that somehow, we want to ratify these conventions and treaties and we keep signing them as if we are obligated to do so. Sometimes, it seems like we do not consider why these treaties should be ratified or not. By rushing to sign these treaties in the manner I see us doing… I am saying this because I want to make recommendations on how we can deal with treaties in future. This is why States like the United States (US), Israel, China and Russia did not sign the International Criminal Court (ICC) Treaty and yet, they come shouting to us that when we engage in such acts, we have to be taken to the Hague. Based on our history, we had the fourth President of the country tried at the Hague. The current President has a pending case at the Hague. We are never bothered that the States that shout the loudest about these rights are not signatories to these treaties. The other question I would ask if I was in charge of this convention is this: Have these economic superpowers, also known as the G20, signed?"
