"I voted in favour of this resolution because the United Nations Human Rights Council plays a very important role throughout the world in addressing issues relating to human rights. The review process is an excellent opportunity to assess how the Council has implemented its mandate. I agree with the proposal that the EU must speak with one voice in relation to issues being dealt with. Furthermore, the Member States must actively engage in reviewing the Council’s work. I welcome the fact that on the agenda of the 16th regular session are reports on the rights of persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, on the rights of the child, and on countering terrorism. However, in order to improve human living conditions, issues relating to the right to water and sanitation should be considered at the session. We must guarantee an effective mechanism to implement and protect what is a fundamental human right. Every effort must be made to ensure that commitments in this area are implemented internationally and every person has access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities."@en1
