"( Mr President, today the UN General Assembly voted to create a Human Rights Council to replace the UN Human Rights Commission whose position has been compromised. The new UN Council fails to meet many of the criteria for the effective monitoring of human rights and reacting to abuses of these rights throughout the world. It does, however, represent a step towards establishing a new international structure based on respect for fundamental rights and political freedoms. The creation of the Council has been supported by Nobel Peace Prize laureates as well as human rights organisations such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch or the Open Society Institute and Soros Foundation Network. The European Union should now play a key role on the UN Human Rights Council. The European Parliament has the opportunity to take a leading role in supporting the Council’s efforts to create a new global system for the protection of human rights. As part of transatlantic dialogue, the European Union should encourage the United States to collaborate more closely with the Human Rights Council and work towards further reform of the UN. The USA was one of four countries which voted against the creation of the Council."@en1
