"Madam President, I was delighted that the motions for a resolution on human rights were adopted, and it was right for the European Union to do so. But I have a short explanation to make.
Madam President, regarding Amendment 2, paragraph 8, my Irish colleagues and I in our group voted in favour because we consider sanitation and, above all, clean water, to be a fundamental human right, and from my own experience of working in Africa on a voluntary basis, I saw the difference access to fresh water makes to the lives of people. So I feel that, by accepting it as a fundamental human right, this may create the urgency to ensure that all citizens of the world have access, above all, to clean fresh water.
Therefore, I was delighted that it was adopted – that is what I had to say."@en1
