se saper

Si l'on donne aujourd'hui la moindre impression que dans cette salle nous n'acceptons qu'une version d'une histoire dont tous les détails sont contestés, nous saperons la mission de M. Kouchner.
If any impression is left in this room today that this Chamber accepts only one version of an issue on which every single detail is disputed, we will undermine Dr. Kouchner's mission.
En exerçant des prérogatives que nous n'avons pas et en nous ingérant dans des dossiers qui ne sont pas de notre compétence, nous saperons notre légitimité au lieu de la renforcer.
If we take on powers that do not belong to us, and if we interfere in issues that do not fall under our competence, then we will be undermining rather than strengthening our legitimacy.
