lpv:translated text	"The European Union and its Member States are committed to guaranteeing respect for human rights in their own policies. It is therefore very important for the EU to be able to assume a strong and influential position in international organisations, in particular, within the United Nations Human Rights Council, ensuring effective and consistent implementation of human rights policy internationally. I agree that the UNHRC’s work and mandate must be reviewed, allowing the Council’s methods of work to be assessed and enhanced, so that it is possible to react to human rights violations as efficiently and systematically as possible. On several occasions, the UNHRC has been unable to address serious human rights situations in an urgent and timely manner because of the absence of adequate instruments. The UNHRC should therefore be better equipped to address both chronic and emergency situations, through the expansion of the human rights toolbox, by using panels not just during but also in-between sessions. In turn, the EU must make the UNHRC a priority and coordinate better among the Member States, which would allow the EU to better use its influence within the wider UN system and would facilitate coordination and decision making in the area of human rights."@en1
