"Mr President, everyone wishes to live a dignified life in freedom, and deserves to do so. Promoting human rights and democratic principles is a task that has a global range; it is also the task of the European Parliament. History, and often the most recent history, shows that the best guarantee of human rights is a correctly functioning democratic state. This means a state in which the rights of the citizen are respected, and in which each citizen, irrespective of gender, faith or caste, is treated identically. We cannot consent to the life of a woman being sacrificed on the altar of her family’s honour in the 21st century. We cannot consent to the fact that in a civilised world, in order to justify abuses, a state of emergency was introduced, which serves as a cover for groundless arrests, the use of torture or the murder of civilians, journalists, lawyers or activists fighting in defence of human rights. For these reasons, I am in favour of adopting the motion for a resolution."@en1
