"Democracy and human rights are fundamental values for the European Union, which should be strongly promoted worldwide as an integral part of the ongoing actions aimed at reducing poverty and settling conflicts, while providing, at the same time, a valuable starting point in the fight against terrorism. I therefore welcome the European Union’s specific intention to incorporate the promotion of democracy and human rights in its external policies. The financing instrument for the promotion of human rights worldwide increases the effectiveness and transparency of EU external assistance and enhances respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in the countries and regions where they are most at risk. I am in favour of action to increase civil society’s role in promoting human rights and democratic reform, in supporting the peaceful conciliation of group interests and in boosting political participation and representation. Furthermore, I support the actions carried out in the areas which come under the European Union’s guidelines, relating specifically to the promotion of democracy, human rights, the death penalty, torture, children’s rights, violence against women and armed conflict. I voted for this report which supports and strengthens the international and regional framework for protecting human rights, justice, the rule of law and promotion of democracy."@en1
