"I voted for the aforementioned report because I am firmly convinced of the indissoluble link between the respect for, and promotion of, human rights and the development and consolidation of democratic societies.
To take a particular example, recent events in the Mediterranean countries show that the local populations are crying out for human rights to be safeguarded. Therefore, the EU institutions are being called upon to commit themselves to protecting democracy, human rights and fundamental freedoms by setting specific, achievable and time-bound objectives in their development programmes with third countries.
I welcome the comprehensive section on the rights of the child and on violence against women, as well as the priority given to supporting efforts towards the worldwide abolition of the death penalty. I believe in fact that the work of women is at the heart of the economy in many areas of conflict around the world, and that they must therefore be more involved and their rights recognised as being full priorities when negotiations seeking to bring peace to these areas are launched.
Finally, I applaud this report because it supports the new, freely elected Members of Parliament in activities that encourage the respect and promotion of these inalienable rights."@en1
