". The question of human rights is one to which we could never be indifferent, yet this does not give us the right to give lessons on human rights. It does, however, give us sufficient moral authority to refuse to accept other people’s criteria for determining whether behaviour in the area of human rights is good or bad. Our abstention, far from being tantamount to indifference, is intended to show how important the question of human rights is to us and how we do not accept the approval of resolutions that are based on market ideology and related concepts, in which certain countries are mentioned and certain others not, in which there appear to be favourite sons and black sheep... whereas there are no prodigal sons – perish the thought! – in the field of competitiveness and productivity. We similarly refuse to accept the smokescreen of compensation, in which the inclusion of some makes up for mere reference to others. This explains our vote."@en1
