"The abolition of the death penalty worldwide is a priority of this Parliament and a particular priority of the Socialists and Democrats Group. It is a violation of human rights and unacceptable in all circumstances, and I am pleased Parliament has endorsed this motion with such great support. As the most active and prominent supporter of abolition in the world, the EU had a responsibility to support civil society and organisations throughout the world campaigning for such a fundamental human right. There is a great amount of work to be done in supporting de facto abolitionist countries codifying such practice in law, in reducing the number of death penalty sentences handed down and carried out in other countries, and in supporting campaigns to repeal death sentences, particularly where trial outcomes are not recognised as legally sound. This is a fundamental value of our Union which we must defend publicly and often wherever possible."@en1
