"I voted in favour of this document because the revised agreement makes a number of interesting changes to the original agreement, in particular – with regard to development – the following: disarmament becomes an essential element of the agreement – to be more precise – on a par with democratic principles, human rights and the rule of law; the principle of aid effectiveness (as a development cooperation objective) and priority for operations contributing, in particular, in the fight against poverty, towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), have been added. I agree with the objective of strengthening support for the International Criminal Court and its work to put an end to impunity and to enforce international justice; cooperation on migration is also to be the subject of regular political dialogue, as is, in this context, the linkage between cooperation and development, including, but not confined to: strategies aimed at reducing poverty, improving living and working conditions and creating employment; participation of migrants in the development of their home countries; cooperation to strengthen capacities, particularly in the health and education sectors, to offset the negative impact of the South African ‘brain drain’ on sustainable development in South Africa; legal, expeditious and cost-effective ways for expatriates to transfer remittances to the country. The following are the most important aspects: peacekeeping and security in the region, as well as respect for human rights and the development of democracy."@en1
