". – Mr President, I have noted that the issue of the death penalty has been raised by almost every speaker. I agree that this needs to be pushed and is an issue which is, in fact, the same in every system, in every country. As such, this issue deserves strong attention and more activity.
In response to Mr Fava's remark – that by defending human rights we can avoid or prevent terrorism – I would also say that I only wish that were true. It would be extremely good if this really were the case. The world is more evil than that. There is extremism and it is not possible to avoid the problem totally by having our own record straight or even having global decency really move forward. This involves a number of fundamental problems, but having said this, I agree with the approach expressed in this formulation. Certainly, we have to be extremely careful not to damage these ideals by fighting terrorism. It is extremely important to maintain that balance.
On the vote in the Commission on Human Rights, and as a reaction to Mr Gahler's remarks, it is not correct to state that the seven EU members of the Commission on Human Rights contributed to the election of the Libyan chair. I would like to mention for the record that this is not what appears from the figures in that vote."@en1
