"I voted in favour of the resolution on Parliament’s position regarding the 19th session of the UN Human Rights Council because observance, promotion and guarantee of the universality of human rights are an integral part of the EU’s
and constitute the cornerstones of European unity and integrity. Parliament calls on Member States to actively oppose any attempt to undermine the universality, indivisibility and interdependence of human rights, and actively encourages the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to pay similar attention to combating any type of discrimination based on gender, race, age, sexual orientation and religion or belief.
We welcome the inclusion on the agenda of the 19th ordinary session of the United Nations Human Rights Council of thematic discussions dedicated to children’s rights, freedom of expression on the Internet, freedom of religion, belief and conscience, the fight against discrimination and violence based on sexual orientation and gender identity, human rights and HIV/AIDS, human rights and the fight against terrorism, and the Declaration on the rights of minorities. The EU and its Member States must guarantee respect for human rights in all their policies and in the international agreements to increase consistency between their internal and external policies, thus increasing the EU’s credibility within the UNHRC."@en1
