Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Sen. Orengo to insinuate that any human being and particularly a distinguished hon. Senator who is flying to The Hague has no ability to listen? What is the relationship between somebody flying out at 11.00 p.m. and being able to listen to the hon. Senator at this Senate sitting? We are a very serious House.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On 17th July, 1998, an important event took place in the City of Rome, Italy.
