lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we know that Olivier Dupuis has been leading this particular struggle, a fact which has also been mentioned here before. I think he deserves a big thank-you for enabling this discussion to take place. I also think that, at the moment, things look very promising indeed in the UN General Assembly. There has been a lot of support from every country, and it has been easy to reach agreement within the Council on this point. Now that the fight is being carried on within the UN, we must beware of cunning counter-proposals which perhaps look innocent enough but which will come from various directions for the purpose of watering down any strong position adopted by the UN General Assembly. We therefore need to keep track of what is happening in the UN. At the same time, we need to ensure that there is strong support from Parliament for this action and that in the future, and in Geneva too, whenever questions affecting human rights come up, we get binding decisions adopted. We also need to ensure that we can follow up the present resolution, which I hope will be approved in New York this autumn."@en1
