"As humanists and universalists we should fight for universal ethics based on the sacred obligation to protect every human being. We should take action every day to guarantee the protection of human rights for all, including minorities. The EU, as the foundation of democratic values, should remain vigilant in order to establish a world of greater freedom, fairness, solidarity and respect for all. It must work to build a society that respects man and his different identities, a society that rejects discrimination and asserts that man does not just carry one identity within him, but several.
Did John F. Kennedy not state before the Protestant Council of New York in 1963 that ‘the Family of Man is not limited to a single race or religion’? Reducing a human being’s identity to a single characteristic is an entirely false conception of the individual. Some make this incorrect assessment through a lack of reflection. Others exploit this shortcut out of opportunism and malice. Each man is defined by a multitude of different identities."@en1
