"Mr President, like the report, your debate confirms and illustrates how very sensitive your Parliament is to the problem of human rights. It in fact reflects the great sensitivity of the vast majority of Europeans to this problem. Many Europeans are actively involved in promoting human rights, in fighting to defend them wherever in the world they are violated. Young people especially are particularly interested in promoting human rights.
I therefore think that the message you are sending with this report, and also with this debate, must first of all be a message to young people to show them that the Europe that is being built is a Europe that conveys its human rights values to the world. I believe Europe’s image in the world is closely associated with this human rights message.
I also agree with those who have said that in themselves human rights alone cannot be the answer to every political problem. A human rights policy cannot replace a foreign policy. Any foreign policy worthy of the name, however, one that is based on values, must give an important place to the defence of human rights. As President-in-Office, that is the message I take from your Parliament, from your report, and I think all the Member States, like the Council, will be attentive to what you have to say. It is true that there is no single solution and there is no easy solution. We cannot treat different situations in the same way, but the basic message remains the same everywhere and the Council must also make that message, which your Parliament has expressed, its own in the policies it puts into effect."@en1
