lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this is a remarkable report: broad in its sweep and penetrating and positive in so many of its observations. The tragedy is that its very breadth confirms how widespread human rights problems still are throughout the world and how vital it is that those of us who care about such issues must make sure our voices are heard and that they prevail. I wish to highlight just one issue as raised in paragraph 49, on human rights issues in Kashmir. I congratulate the rapporteur on the way he has worked with all political groups on this sensitive subject. I am happy to accept his compromise wording but I would still like to have seen references not just to the region of Kashmir but also to the sufferings of the people of Kashmir. This is after all a people issue. The previous paragraph, number 48, makes clear that the largest functioning democracy in the world is India, a country that I much admire. In my judgement, this should inspire India to assume greater moral leadership in the subcontinent and this means working not just with Pakistan, but with all stakeholders to ensure that human rights abuses are resolved with urgency. Yesterday the President of Azad Kashmir came to the Parliament to open an exhibition at the start of EU-Kashmir week, the first time there has been such an occasion. As a Vice-President of the all-party group on Kashmir in the European Parliament, I said then and repeat now that the people of Jammu and Kashmir should take great heart from the fact that this group is genuinely all-party and genuinely represents all nationalities, and that this Parliament remains committed to ensuring that their voices can be heard loud and clear here in this Parliament. We must all look forward to the day when, with our support, the voices of the people can be heard equally loudly and equally clearly in the land of their fathers."@en1
