Each country has to be at the center of its development, and when you are promoting a programme of good governance and democratization, you have to find ways to respect this. If we don't, it isn't sustainable. This is especially difficult when you are dealing with Human Rights issues, because it is often obvious to us as to where you should start, but it does not necessarily work like that elsewhere. There is at least now a greater openness to discussing issues of governance. At the World Bank meeting in Hong Kong, the speech of the World Bank President was oriented to corruption.
Corruption touches all countries.
Even two years ago, it would have been impossible to address this question. The speech we made at the Commission on Development was also centred on corruption. In India, in an agro-forestry programme, we were able to turn things around and this led to a modification of land ownership. Land was not completely transferred in terms of title but it was transferred for twenty years. We moved upward from the community level.
