Chris Smith actually said...

the persecution of prisoners of conscience in Vietnam is systemic--that it is ongoing, it is pervasive and it is part of the system.

I chaired a series of hearings beginning in 2005. I went to Goma. I spent a better part of a week meeting with peacekeepers...

when a peacekeeper from a particular member state is found or is alleged to have committed crimes... they go back to their home State

Thank you, Madam Chair. And welcome, Madam Ambassador, and thank you for your testimony and for your work.
