Robin Cook Agreement Quotations

I can't accept collective responsibility for the decision to commit Britain now to military action in Iraq without international agreement or domestic support.

Neither of us is predicting there will be an agreement by Tuesday, but what we have seen over the past 24 hours is substantial movement,

Today's agreement does not embrace any renegade fanatic who may wish to still try to carry out a threat to the life of Salman Rushdie,

We have done a lot here even if we have not done enough, ... We will use the next three weeks to convince the Serbs and to convince the Albanians that the agreement is a good bargain for both sides.

Sanctions could not be lifted if he signs up to the agreement, but sanctions could certainly be lifted if he carries out the agreement,

are getting very close to agreement across a number of fronts.
