lpv:spoken text	"I just wanted to expand on what I said earlier regarding the way the resolution on Dalits’ human rights went through the House without an opportunity to amend it, and in particular to point out a number of factual inaccuracies in the report which never came before either the Foreign Affairs Committee or the Human Rights Sub-Committee for an opinion. I would like to protest at the way in which Rule 90(4) is being used by certain Members of this House. For instance, the resolution highlights the incidence of crimes against the Dalits and talks about frequent heinous crimes against them, e.g. murders. Well, I would like to point out that in fact the incidence of murders in India against Dalits is 2.04%, whereas they constitute 14% of the population. So actually, if you are a Dalit, you have a safer lifestyle than if you are somebody from one of the other castes. The resolution makes no mention of the workings of the Prevention of Atrocities Act, which was designed to help convict those who have attacked Dalits, and in addition it makes no mention of the fact that the rate of literacy, although very low for Dalits, is extremely close to the national average. It does not mention that there is a national reward from the government, basically designed to eradicate untouchability, and there are cash incentives given to encourage inter-caste marriages. This report is very unbalanced; it is full of factual inaccuracies and I lament the fact, Mr President, that you were not in a position to refer it back to committee, but my case rests."@en⁴

Jeg vil gerne protestere over, hvordan visse af Parlamentets medlemmer bruger forretningsordenens artikel 90, stk. 4. I beslutningen fokuserer man f.eks. på forbrydelser mod dalitterne og taler om hyppige og afskyelige forbrydelser mod dem, f.eks. mord. Jeg vil gerne påpege, at mordraten mod dalitter i Indien ligger på 2,04 %, mens de udgør 14 % af befolkningen. Hvis man er dalit, lever man rent faktisk mere sikkert, end hvis man kommer fra en af de andre kaster. I beslutningen nævner man ikke arbejdet med loven til forebyggelse af grusomheder, som blev udformet for at give mulighed for at domfælde dem, der har angrebet dalitterne, og desuden nævner man ikke, at analfabetismen, som ganske vist ligger meget højt for dalitter, ligger særdeles tæt på det nationale gennemsnit. Man nævner ikke, at regeringen har indført en national belønning, der grundlæggende har til formål at afskaffe straffrihed, og at der gives kontante præmier for at tilskynde til ægteskaber på tværs af kasterne. Betænkningen er meget ubalanceret; den er fyldt med faktuelle unøjagtigheder, og hr. formand, jeg beklager, at De ikke havde mulighed for at henvise den til fornyet udvalgsbehandling, men jeg afstår fra yderligere bemærkninger."@da² "Ich wollte nur noch einmal auf meine vorherigen Ausführungen zu der Art und Weise, wie die Entschließung zu den Menschenrechten der Dalits dieses Haus ohne Möglichkeit zur Vorlage von Änderungsanträgen durchlaufen hat, zurückkommen und insbesondere auf einige sachliche Ungenauigkeiten im Bericht hinweisen, der weder dem Ausschuss für auswärtige Angelegenheiten noch dem Unterausschuss Menschenrechte zur Stellungnahme vorgelegt wurde. Ich möchte dagegen protestieren, wie einige Abgeordnete dieses Hauses Artikel 90 Absatz 4 der Geschäftsordnung geltend machen. Beispielsweise wird in der Entschließung auf Verbrechen gegen die Dalits sowie darauf hingewiesen, dass sie regelmäßig grausamen Verbrechen, auch Mord zum Opfer fallen. Nun, ich möchte darauf hinweisen, dass in Indien 2,04 % der Mordfälle gegen Dalits verübt werden, deren Bevölkerungsanteil bei 14 % liegt. Als Dalit führt man also ein sichereres Leben als ein Mitglied einer anderen Kaste. In der Entschließung wird mit keinem Wort das „Prevention of Atrocities Act“ erwähnt, das dafür konzipiert wurde, die Ahndung von Personen zu unterstützen, die Gewalttätigkeiten gegen Dalits verüben, und es wird auch nicht erwähnt, dass die Alphabetisierungsrate für die Dalits zwar sehr niedrig ist, aber ganz nahe am nationalen Durchschnitt liegt. Es wird nicht erwähnt, dass es eine nationale Prämie der Regierung gibt, die im Wesentlichen für die Ausrottung der Unberührbarkeit geschaffen wurde, und dass es Bargeldanreize für kastenübergreifende Ehen gibt. Dieser Bericht ist sehr unausgewogen; er ist gespickt mit sachlichen Ungenauigkeiten, und ich bedauere, Herr Präsident, dass sie ihn nicht in die Ausschüsse zurückverweisen konnten, aber ich bleibe bei meiner Sache."@de⁹ "Ήθελα απλώς να επεκταθώ σε αυτό που είπα νωρίτερα για τον τρόπο με τον οποίο πέρασε το ψήφισμα για τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα των ντάλιτ στο Σώμα χωρίς ευκαιρία τροποποίησής του, και ειδικά να επισημάνω ορισμένες πραγματολογικές ανακρίβειες στην έκθεση που δεν υποβλήθηκε ποτέ για γνωμοδότηση ούτε στην Επιτροπή Εξωτερικών Υποθέσεων ούτε στην Υποεπιτροπή για τα Ανθρώπινα Δικαιώματα. Θα ήθελα να διαμαρτυρηθώ για τον τρόπο με τον οποίο χρησιμοποιείται το άρθρο 90, παράγραφος 4, από ορισμένους βουλευτές του Κοινοβουλίου. Για παράδειγμα, το ψήφισμα τονίζει τη συχνότητα των εγκλημάτων κατά των ντάλιτ και μιλά για συχνά ειδεχθή εγκλήματα εις βάρος τους, π.χ. δολοφονίες. Θα ήθελα, λοιπόν, να επισημάνω ότι στην πραγματικότητα η συχνότητα των δολοφονιών στην Ινδία κατά των ντάλιτ ανέρχεται σε 2,04%, ενώ αυτοί αποτελούν το 14% του πληθυσμού. Συνεπώς, αν είσαι ντάλιτ, είσαι πιο ασφαλής από ό,τι αν ανήκεις σε μία από τις άλλες κάστες. Το ψήφισμα δεν αναφέρει τη λειτουργία του νόμου για την Πρόληψη των Φρικαλεοτήτων, ο οποίος είχε σκοπό να συμβάλει στην καταδίκη όσων επιτίθενται σε ντάλιτ και επίσης δεν αναφέρει το γεγονός ότι το ποσοστό αλφαβητισμού, αν και πολύ χαμηλό για τους ντάλιτ, προσεγγίζει πολύ τον εθνικό μέσο όρο. Δεν αναφέρει ότι υπάρχει εθνική ανταμοιβή από την κυβέρνηση, η οποία έχει βασικά σκοπό την εξάλειψη της πρακτικής των «άθικτων» («untouchables»), και ότι παρέχονται χρηματικά κίνητρα για την ενθάρρυνση των γάμων μεταξύ ατόμων από διαφορετικές κάστες. Αυτή η έκθεση στερείται ισορροπίας. Είναι γεμάτη πραγματολογικές ανακρίβειες και λυπάμαι για το γεγονός, κύριε Πρόεδρε, ότι δεν ήσασταν σε θέση να την αναπέμψετε στην επιτροπή, αλλά αυτά είχα να πω."@el¹⁰ "Solo quiero ampliar lo que he dicho antes en relación con la manera en que se ha tramitado en esta Cámara la resolución sobre los derechos humanos de los sin oportunidad de modificarla, y en particular destacar una serie de datos inexactos en el informe que no ha llegado ni a la Comisión de Asuntos Exteriores ni a la Subcomisión de Derechos Humanos para que emitan su opinión. Protesto por la forma en que algunos diputados a esta Cámara están utilizando el apartado 4 del artículo 90 del Reglamento. Por ejemplo, la resolución destaca la incidencia de delitos cometidos contra los y habla de delitos terribles y frecuentes contra ellos, como por ejemplo asesinatos. Bien, quiero decir que en realidad la incidencia de asesinatos cometidos en la India contra los miembros de la casta de los es del 2,04 %, cuando constituyen el 14 % de la población. Así que, de hecho, los gozan de más seguridad que los miembros de las demás castas. La resolución no menciona los efectos de la Ley de prevención de atrocidades, concebida para facilitar la condena de los que han agredido a los y tampoco menciona el hecho de que la tasa de alfabetización, aunque es muy baja entre los está muy cerca de la media nacional. No menciona que el Gobierno concede una recompensa con vistas a erradicar la intocabilidad y que se dan incentivos en metálico para promover los matrimonios mixtos entre miembros de diferentes castas. Este informe es muy poco equilibrado; está plagado de datos inexactos y lamento, señor Presidente, que no pudiera usted devolverlo a la comisión, pero yo mantengo mi postura."@es²¹ "I just wanted to expand on what I said earlier regarding the way the resolution on Dalits’ human rights went through the House without an opportunity to amend it, and in particular to point out a number of factual inaccuracies in the report which never came before either the Foreign Affairs Committee or the Human Rights Sub-Committee for an opinion.

Haluan erityisesti huomauttaa, että tässä päätöslauselmassa, jota ei koskaan toimitettu ulkoasiainvaliokunnan eikä ihmisoikeuksien alivaliokunnan käsiteltäväksi lausunnon antamista varten, on joitakin virheellisiä tietoja. Vastustan tapaa, jolla jotkut parlamentin jäsenet soveltavat työjärjestyksen 90 artiklan 4 kohtaa. Päätöslauselmassa esimerkiksi korostetaan, miten paljon kastittomia vastaan tehdään rikoksia, ja todetaan, että he joutuvat usein katalien rikosten, esimerkiksi murhien, kohteeksi. Huomautan, että kastittomien murhien osuus kaikista Intiassa tehdyistä murhista on itse asiassa 2,04 prosenttia, kun heidän osuutensa väestöstä on 14 prosenttia. Kastiton voi tosiasiassa elää turvallisemmin kuin muihin kasteihin kuuluva ihminen. Päätöslauselmassa ei ole mitään mainintaa kastittomiin kohdistuvia julmuuksia estävästä lainsäädännöstä, jolla on tarkoitus edistää kastittomien vastaisiin rikoksiin syyllistyneiden tuomitsemista. Päätöslauselmassa ei myöskään mainita, että vaikka vain erittäin pieni osuus kastittomista osaa lukea, kastittomien lukutaitoluvut ovat erittäin lähellä maan keskiarvoa. Päätöslauselmassa ei mainita, että Intian hallitus on ottanut käyttöön palkitsemisjärjestelmän, jonka ensisijaisena tavoitteena on poistaa koskemattomuus. Myös eri kasteihin kuuluvien avioliittoja tuetaan taloudellisilla kannustimilla. Päätöslauselma on erittäin epätasapainoinen. Se on täynnä asiavirheitä. Arvoisa puhemies, minusta on valitettavaa, ettette voinut palauttaa asiaa valiokuntakäsittelyyn. Esittämäni todisteet ovat kuitenkin edelleen olemassa."@fi⁷ "Je voulais juste revenir sur ce que j’ai dit plus tôt au sujet de la manière dont la résolution sur les droits de l’homme des Dalits a cheminé en cette Assemblée sans qu’il ne soit possible de l’amender, et en particulier signaler certaines inexactitudes factuelles contenues dans le rapport, qui n’est jamais passé pour avis en commission des affaires étrangères ni en sous-commission des droits de l’homme. Je voudrais m’insurger contre la manière dont certains membres de cette Assemblée utilisent l’article 90, paragraphe 4. Par exemple, la résolution souligne l’incidence des crimes contre les Dalits et parle de fréquents crimes odieux, par exemple de meurtres, à leur encontre. Eh bien, je voudrais signaler qu’en réalité, l’incidence des meurtres de Dalits en Inde est de 2,04%, alors qu’ils représentent 14% de la population. Donc, les Dalits sont plus en sécurité que les tenants des autres castes. La résolution ne mentionne pas le fonctionnement de la loi sur la prévention des atrocités, qui a pour but d’aider à confondre ceux qui ont attaqué des Dalits, ni le fait que le taux d’alphabétisation - bien que très bas chez les Dalits - est très proche de la moyenne nationale. Il ne dit pas non plus que le gouvernement offre une prime nationale, destinée à éradiquer l’intouchabilité, ni que des incitations en espèces sonnantes et trébuchantes sont versées pour encourager les mariages intercastes. Ce rapport est très déséquilibré; il regorge d’erreurs factuelles, et je regrette, Monsieur le Président, que vous n’ayez pas pu le renvoyer en commission."@fr⁸ "I just wanted to expand on what I said earlier regarding the way the resolution on Dalits’ human rights went through the House without an opportunity to amend it, and in particular to point out a number of factual inaccuracies in the report which never came before either the Foreign Affairs Committee or the Human Rights Sub-Committee for an opinion.

Vorrei protestare per il modo in cui l’articolo 90, paragrafo 4, è stato utilizzato da alcuni deputati di quest’Assemblea. Per esempio la risoluzione sottolinea l’incidenza dei crimini contro i e parla di crimini efferati nei loro confronti, come gli omicidi. Beh, vorrei fare presente che, in effetti, in India l’incidenza degli omicidi contro i è pari al 2,04 per cento, mentre essi costituiscono il 14 per cento della popolazione. Di fatto, quindi, se si è un si ha una vita meno insicura di chi appartiene a una delle altre caste. La risoluzione non fa cenno al funzionamento della legge sulla prevenzione delle atrocità, che ha l’obiettivo di facilitare la condanna di coloro che hanno aggredito i e per di più non fa menzione del fatto che il tasso di alfabetizzazione, benché per i sia molto basso, è vicinissimo alla media nazionale. Né dice che è prevista una ricompensa, da parte del governo, volta fondamentalmente a sradicare il concetto dell’intoccabilità, e che ci sono incentivi in danaro per incoraggiare i matrimoni tra caste diverse. La relazione è molto sbilanciata; è piena di imprecisioni e deploro, signor Presidente, che lei non sia stato in condizione di rinviarla in commissione, ma non ho altro da aggiungere."@it¹² "I just wanted to expand on what I said earlier regarding the way the resolution on Dalits’ human rights went through the House without an opportunity to amend it, and in particular to point out a number of factual inaccuracies in the report which never came before either the Foreign Affairs Committee or the Human Rights Sub-Committee for an opinion.

In het bijzonder wilde ik wijzen op een aantal feitelijke onnauwkeurigheden in het verslag, dat nooit voor advies is voorgelegd aan de Commissie buitenlandse zaken of de Subcommissie mensenrechten. Ik teken protest aan tegen de manier waarop artikel 90, lid 4 van het Reglement door bepaalde leden van dit Parlement wordt gebruikt. Zo wordt in de resolutie de frequentie benadrukt waarmee misdrijven tegen de Dalits worden begaan en worden de wreedheden tegen hen, waaronder moorden, aan de orde gesteld. Ik wil er toch op wijzen dat het feitelijke percentage van moorden op Dalits in India 2,04 procent bedraagt, terwijl zij 14 procent van de bevolking uitmaken. Eigenlijk heb je als Dalit dus een veiliger leven dan wanneer je iemand uit een van de andere kasten bent. In de resolutie wordt geen melding gemaakt van het effect van de Prevention of Atrocities Act, die was bedoeld om degenen die Dalits aanvallen veroordeeld te helpen krijgen, en bovendien wordt ook niet vermeld dat het alfabetismecijfer, dat voor Dalits inderdaad heel laag is, zeer dicht bij het nationaal gemiddelde ligt. Evenmin wordt vermeld dat er een nationale beloning bestaat vanuit de regering die in feite bedoeld is om onaanraakbaarheid uit te roeien, en dat er financiële prikkels worden gegeven ter bevordering van huwelijken tussen verschillende kasten. Dit verslag is buitengewoon onevenwichtig; het staat vol feitelijke onnauwkeurigheden en ik betreur het feit dat u, mijnheer de Voorzitter, niet de mogelijkheid had om het terug te verwijzen naar de commissie, maar ik heb mijn punt gemaakt."@nl³ "I just wanted to expand on what I said earlier regarding the way the resolution on Dalits’ human rights went through the House without an opportunity to amend it, and in particular to point out a number of factual inaccuracies in the report which never came before either the Foreign Affairs Committee or the Human Rights Sub-Committee for an opinion.

Gostaria de protestar contra a forma como o nº 4 do artigo 90º está a ser utilizado por alguns deputados desta Assembleia. Por exemplo, a resolução salienta a incidência de crimes cometidos contra os Dalit e fala de crimes hediondos contra os mesmos, por exemplo, assassínios. Bem, gostaria de referir que de facto a incidência de assassínios na Índia contra os Dalit é de 2,04%, considerando que estes constituem 14% da população. Portanto, na realidade, se se é um Dalit, tem-se um estilo de vida mais seguro do que se se for alguém de uma das outras castas. A resolução não faz menção aos trabalhos da Prevention of Atrocities Act (Lei de Prevenção de Atrocidades), que foi concebida para ajudar a condenar aqueles que atacaram os Dalit, e além disso, não faz menção ao facto de o índice de literacia, embora muito baixo no caso dos Dalit, ser extremamente próximo do da média nacional. Não menciona que existe uma recompensa a nível nacional do Governo, fundamentalmente destinada a erradicar a “intocabilidade”, e existem incentivos pecuniários para encorajar o casamento entre castas.

The resolution makes no mention of the workings of the Prevention of Atrocities Act, which was designed to help convict those who have attacked Dalits, and in addition it makes no mention of the fact that the rate of literacy, although very low for Dalits, is extremely close to the national average. It does not mention that there is a national reward from the government, basically designed to eradicate untouchability, and there are cash incentives given to encourage inter-caste marriages. This report is very unbalanced; it is full of factual inaccuracies and I lament the fact, Mr President, that you were not in a position to refer it back to committee, but my case rests."@sl²⁰ "Jag skulle bara vilja utveckla vad jag sa tidigare om hur resolutionen om människorättsläget för daliterna gick genom parlamentet utan möjlighet till ändring och särskilt framhålla ett antal sakfel i betänkandet, som aldrig förelades vare sig utskottet för utrikesfrågor eller underutskottet för mänskliga rättigheter för yttrande. Jag vill protestera mot det sätt på vilket artikel 90.4 utnyttjas av vissa parlamentsledamöter. I resolutionen belyses exempelvis i vilken utsträckning daliterna utsätts för brott, och man talar om att de ofta utsätts för fruktansvärda brott, t.ex. mord. Jag skulle vilja påpeka att 2,04 procent av morden drabbar daliter, medan de utgör 14 procent av befolkningen. Så daliter lever i själva verket säkrare än medlemmar av de övriga kasterna. I resolutionen nämns inte vilka effekterna blivit av lagen om förebyggande av grymhet, som utformades för att göra det lättare att fälla dem som angripit daliter, och inte heller talas det om att graden av läs- och skrivkunnighet visserligen är mycket låg för daliter men ändå ligger ytterst nära det nationella genomsnittet. Det nämns inte att det finns en nationell belöning från regeringshåll som i princip är avsedd att utrota oberörbarheten, och det finns penningincitament som ges för att uppmuntra till äktenskap mellan kaster. Betänkandet är mycket obalanserat. Det är fullt av sakfel och jag beklagar att ni inte hade möjlighet att återförvisa det till utskottet, herr talman. Mina skäl kvarstår dock."@sv²²
