    "content": "Before I came into the House, I sat in a Parliamentary Taskforce that follows the implementation of Treaty obligations of the country. This is a noble initiative and the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs should follow and ensure that the issue of MDGs is taken up and followed up by the taskforce. If we get regular reports, as it is recommended in the Motion, then we would, in effect, be doing what we recently saw being practised in the United States of America, which is the State of the Union. As a country, we are entitled under the new Constitution to know what the Government is doing in relation to its international obligations and commitments. We do not make commitments so that we violate them, but we make commitments, so that we can keep them. There is growing trend towards making commitments and then reneging on them. As a matter of fact, I am bringing a Bill on International Treaty Ratification Process, which seeks to look at some of those issues."
