"Mr President, today, the International Day Against Homophobia, must be an opportunity for us to restate our commitment to universal respect for human rights throughout the world, at a time when provisions or practices involving discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity still exist in a number of countries. We must also condemn even more strongly the increasing number of physical assaults and the repetition of homophobic statements. The code of silence must end here. Teaching tolerance is one part of the solution, because attitudes still need to change, including in our European countries. We must not overlook the matter of teaching tolerance; quite the contrary. Lastly, European diplomacy must be harnessed to ensure that legislation decreeing that homosexuality is a crime is abolished in those countries in which it remains in force. I wish to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an appeal in this regard to Baroness Ashton."@en1
