    "content": "Right now, we have examinations going on. Students doing experiments in biology, chemistry and using laboratories. I shudder to think what infrastructure exists, especially in the parts of the world that you and I, come from. We need to ensure that these resolutions see light of day so that our children are able to compete on level ground. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not want to go into the resolution on non- admissibility of using mercenaries and foreign fighters as a means of undermining peace, international security and territorial integrity of states without violating human rights. This is an important issue internationally and even in our country as the world has become a very unstable place where there is strife. We need to make sure there are rules around engagements in war. As regards to resolutions on the role of fair trade, I am glad, especially with regard to sustainability and fair trade and the rules that are fair even to Third World or developing countries were canvassed and resolutions made. We, as parliamentarians, will be watching out for the implementation of these resolutions and making sure that our local investments adhere to these standards. There was a resolution on a call for urgent international action to support Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe that were hit by a cyclone. Humanitarian response is needed. Again, these cyclones are more frequent and, perhaps, may have a direct link to the climate issues that were canvassed. It is our hope that all these good things will be implemented. With those few remarks, I second the Report of the 140th Assembly of the International Parliamentary Union (IPU) and Related Meetings."
