"I voted in favour of the own-initiative report by my Italian colleague Marco Cappato on human rights in the world in 2007. I support the statement that the Commission and the Council should take priority action – along the same lines as for the establishment of the ICC – to support the activities of the international courts involved in protecting human rights. The new United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has the potential to develop into a valuable framework for improving the human rights situation in the world. I am in favour of promoting non-violence as an essential means of ensuring respect for fundamental human rights and in favour of the fight against the death penalty. Like my colleagues, I am surprised that a number of European countries have not yet ratified the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture. I am pleased to see how effective the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) has been but its budget falls drastically short of the expectations of it, and I support an increase in the EIDHR budget from 2009."@en1
