The June List believes that human rights must be upheld in all societies throughout the world, both in the EU Member States and in other countries.
The report is a motion for a resolution which calls on the Member States and the states concerned to work to uphold women’s rights. This is a deserving cause, but this is not the right forum in which to discuss the matter. As usual, paragraphs are included where the EU seeks to act with a single voice in foreign policy. With the report’s proposals for new budget headings, campaigns and increased responsibilities the EU is seeking to appropriate more power and to use issues like these as means in that quest.
Crimes against women are unacceptable and a dialogue between sovereign states to put an end to this is to be welcomed because it is important to improve the vulnerable position of women in much of the world. However, the EU must not pursue a single foreign policy and for that reason we chose to vote against this report."@en1
