lpv:translated text	"Human rights are part of our joint heritage in the West, but long ago left their confines to be asserted as increasingly universal and applicable worldwide. The European Union is therefore doing well to make them central to its foreign policy; the European Parliament particularly so, by becoming involved in the most important fora on the issue. I hope that the Union will live up to its history at the 19th session of the UN Human Rights Council, and will contribute to asserting these rights on the global agenda. In the same way, I hope that we will collectively be able to moderate the generous impulse to classify all rights as ‘human’ and ‘fundamental’, otherwise we will reduce the dignity and importance of those that truly are. I believe that bloating these categories of rights does not contribute to asserting them, but rather risks trivialising them."@en1
