I voted in favour of the report by my fellow Member, Mr Howitt, on Human Rights in the World 2005 and the EU’s policy on the matter. At a time when the major victories in the field of human rights are being continually and insidiously undermined, the role of the European Union, as an emerging humanist civilisation, is vital. As the representative of EU citizens, the European Parliament has a great and immense responsibility where human rights are concerned. Firstly, within the Union itself by ensuring that the Member States ratify and implement the major international human rights treaties. Secondly, the Union, as an area of peace and democracy, must remain the guarantor for human rights in the world by ensuring that our declarations based on our values are followed through in all European policies."@en1
