"Even though I consider this resolution to be on the whole positive, I have a few serious comments to make:
First and foremost I would like to deplore the fact that the resolution does not mention the framework of the UN-declared international human rights year.
I can also see in this resolution a further dangerous political tendency within the framework of European politics, which involves taking children out of their natural environment, in other words away from their natural families. The family is the most natural place for the development of a child and it will always be that way. Mother and father are the most important people for a child. This also applies in the poorest families and in immigrant families. Instead of tearing children away from their families, we should think about how to support parents and families in their mutual responsibilities.
I would like to conclude by deploring the fact that the report is completely silent on the role of fathers. Even in immigrant families mothers and fathers are different but complementary. We should not support mothers without doing the same thing for fathers as well.
I simply want to assert the Universal General Declaration of Human Rights. This explicitly assumes the right of the child to live in a family and the right of parents to choose the education they feel will be right for their child.
Immigrant families have this right as well."@en1
