"I am a strong supporter of genuine human rights and have campaigned vigorously for them in regard, for example, to Burma and Zimbabwe – but there is no mention of either country in the report. It contains much with which I can agree but inevitably, it is distorted by political prejudice. The Left, as reflected in this report, seems to think that just about everything is a fundamental human right, that all policies should be subordinated to ‘human rights’, that migrants should have special treatment, and that terrorist suspects are particularly deserving of protection. It displays a particular obsession with gender issues. Curious legal interpretations of the European Convention on Human Rights have seriously distorted the convention’s original purposes, yet the report seeks to encourage accession by the EU to the Convention and ‘deplores’ any efforts by the UK and France to thwart this. I abstained in the final vote."@en1
