lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, of course some minimum standards are desirable. I do not question that. I am sure that we all believe in justice: justice for suspected criminals and justice for the people we represent; and human rights for suspected criminals but also human rights for all our constituents. However, we must not be naive: these proposals and the way in which they are being promoted by some in this House give all suspected criminals the same procedural safeguards. But a terrorist is not the same, for instance, as a burglar, and must be handled differently. We are experiencing an international crisis and we can allow nothing to undermine our fight against terrorism and those that perpetrate it. Our responsibilities are primarily – as they should be – to the vast majority of innocent men, women and children in our various countries and their rights: their rights to enjoy their lives without fear of violence or sudden death perpetrated by these appalling terrorists. This proposal does little to help us in our work or indeed to help those innocent people, especially at a time when our efforts should be directed primarily to helping the law enforcement agencies of our various countries, rather than tying their hands behind their backs. Those on the left of this House offer little help to those who need it, especially to those who need our protection and our support."@en1
