It is difficult to put up with bad faith, with speeches that say that more public development aid is needed but, when a suitable text is drafted to reconfirm past commitments, suddenly there is no longer agreement and people invent all sorts of reasons not to undertake the commitment or, at any rate, to leave enough escape routes available to be able to turn their backs on their responsibilities and commitments in the most dishonourable way.
C’est difficile de supporter la mauvaise foi, de supporter des discours qui disent, il faut plus d’aide publique au développement, mais quand on rédige un texte juste pour reconfirmer les engagements du passé, subitement on n’est plus d’accord et on invente toutes sortes de raisons pour ne pas être pris dans l’engagement.
