"Mr President, I voted in favour of this resolution, as a matter of principle. The resolution quite rightly stresses the importance of finding common ground at the forthcoming meeting of the UN Human Rights Council. Speaking with one voice has been the stumbling block to political cooperation on the part of the European Union, especially in foreign policy. Speaking with one voice would promote visibility and the power of influence of the EU as a global actor.
I would like to mention what I believe to be important issues in today’s international situation. The mainstreaming of human rights must have a role in building a country’s institutions. In particular, the new democracies emerging from the Arab Spring must receive support while they are building a genuinely democratic system.
The situation in Syria is worrying and affects Europeans. It is extremely regrettable that a crisis that has already claimed 7 000 lives cannot be brought to an end. The UN needs to reach agreement on joint measures.
Finally, I would like to stress that the EU should ensure that the universality, inseparability and interdependence of human rights should not be called into question."@en1
