"The UEN Group decided to vote against the Gröner-Smet report for several reasons, one of which is the ideology behind Beijing +5. We do not reject the whole report but we refuse to accept the ideological vision of women which it aims to impose on the world. This vision which we reject relies on empirical assumptions. Firstly, we disagree with the principle of women being a factor of peace and we reject this image of a dove superimposed on that of a woman to become as one. This makes men into hirsute and aggressive beings who are the source of all the world’s problems. Furthermore, we do not believe that women can, by nature, be a factor of economic development. Clearly, they can contribute to this and we must give them the means to do so. However, we believe that, in the context of this debate, the absolute priority must be to provide education. We also cannot accept the individualisation of human rights to be found in this report. The UEN Group, although attached to the whole European tradition of human rights, cannot accept the individualisation of these rights where they represent only specific needs to which suitable responses must be provided. A restrictive international instrument certainly cannot be based on false assumptions."@en1
