"We conservatives in the European Parliament voted in favour of reporton human rights in the world in 2001 and European Union human rights policy. We did so because we support the major human rights principles we believe are protected by this resolution. We are, on the other hand, opposed to the wordings stating that globalisation creates economic and social suffering. We are also opposed to putting what are termed positive rights (social, economic and cultural) on an equal footing with the more important ‘negative’ rights (political and legal). We assume that state terrorism is referred to in connection with states that fund terrorist organisations. We are opposed to Parliament’s having its own ambassador for human rights. We should like to see a clearer general recommendation concerning the abolition of the death penalty. We reject the insinuation that the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay should not have been taken prisoner during the war in Afghanistan. We voted in favour of Amendment No 3 by the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party."@en1
