lpv:translated text	"It would be unthinkable for the European Parliament to discuss human rights in the world today without mentioning Hu Jia. A few hours ago, we all participated in a moving ceremony which Hu Jia himself was unable to attend, but today people throughout the whole world will hear about his work and efforts to defend the rights of AIDS sufferers and to fight for environmental protection in China. I was in China a few weeks ago and convinced myself how right Hu Jia is to fight for environmental protection. Not to be able to see the sun in the sky because of the enormous amount of pollution is terrible. Today, we must also mention former Sakharov Prize winners: San Suu Kyi from Burma, Oswaldo Paya and Damas de Blanco. Today, we miss them all here in the European Parliament and once again we must discuss the unsatisfactory human rights situations in Burma and Cuba. A week ago, we mentioned the 60 anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but today we must also acknowledge that not only do many countries fail to honour human rights, they blatantly violate them. We are debating the 2008 Annual Report on Human Rights in the World. It comprehensively reflects human rights problems. It is worth congratulating the European Council and the Commission for preparing this excellent document. I would like to stress several things. Firstly, as was mentioned by Mrs Ferrero-Waldner, the United Nations Human Rights Council and the European Union’s role in it, as well as the general role of the United Nations in defending human rights throughout the world. Secondly, the European Union’s policy landmarks on the death penalty and their implementation. Thirdly, human rights dialogues and consultations. Colleagues, I feel it is especially important to get the United Nations Human Rights Council to use the mandate, given to it by the United Nations, unilaterally and purposefully in order to defend human rights and ensure the maximum transparency of institutions and the participation of civil society in its work. On behalf of us all, I would like to urge all European Union institutions to work together in harmony to defend human rights in the world."@en1
