As in previous years, the resolutions not to discuss business (it carried the threat of a fine) gave way early on the first evening.

But the diplomats said that, in general, the resolution gave him a mandate to press ahead with his agenda.

The resolution gave the president the power to start war in Vietnam.

An honest resolution would give them each his own country.

The resolution, sponsored by 30 countries, gives troops "all necessary means" to defend themselves.

We have some concern that the resolution does not give enough consideration to them and to ways in which their interests could receive specific protection.

And we cannot deny that the resolutions adopted by this Parliament gave me food for thought.

Today's resolution, therefore, also gives a kind of limited snapshot in time; we will be drawing up the full report next year.

The joint resolution gives strength to this conviction on our part.

The resolution we are adopting today should give a clear message.
