"I voted for the Annual Report on Human Rights in the World and the European Union’s policy on the matter, including implications for the EU’s strategic human rights policy. EU development aid programmes should include specific, substantial reforms to ensure respect for human rights, transparency, gender equality and anti-corruption measures. I condemn all forms of human rights violations and the limited access to justice for victims. I welcome the conclusion by the EU of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and the adoption of the European disability strategy 2010-2020. I should point out that the Internet, together with social media, have become one of the most important vehicles which individuals are using to exercise their right to freedom of opinion and expression, and that they play a crucial role in promoting human rights, democratic participation, accountability, transparency, economic development and new forms of public access. I welcome the creation of UN Women, and call on the EU to work closely with this institution at international, regional and national level to enforce women’s rights. I welcome the adoption of the landmark convention by the Council of Europe on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, thereby creating a comprehensive framework to avert violence."@en1
