lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the forthcoming session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights represents an opportunity to tackle some outstanding issues. The European Union must sponsor specific resolutions on matters such as the situation in Colombia, corporate responsibility in the area of human rights, and the right to self-determination for forgotten peoples such as those of Tibet and the Sahara. Resolutions concerning discrimination for reasons of sexual orientation or gender must also be supported, in line with the Brazilian initiative. In addition, the Union should promote the reform of the aforementioned Commission. As an essential pre-requisite to membership, governments must first be required to have ratified the main treaties concerning human rights. They must also have fulfilled all the requirements concerning information, applied the recommendations adopted by the bodies charged with monitoring those treaties and issued open invitations to UN experts in human rights. A determined effort will be required to tackle these matters, and I urge the European Union to take them seriously."@en1
