"Mr President, during the recent UK Presidency, the European Union intervened diplomatically in 26 separate matters related to human rights, and published 49 statements on the issue. It is laudable that we are spending so much time here at the European Parliament on issues related to human rights in the broadest sense. During each Strasbourg session we hold debates on infringements of human rights, democratic principles and the rule of law.
However, while we debate the situation in African or Asian countries, we cannot forget about the Member States. Such problems affect a large number of them, and especially some of the new Member States. Let us therefore protect and fight for human rights throughout the world, but let us keep our eyes and ears open and remember that just next door, in a neighbouring state, they are not always respected. I say this with the utmost conviction as a practising lawyer who sees clear evidence of this happening."@en1
