"I voted in favour of 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. I strongly believe that the universality of human rights can only be ensured by active cooperation between different human rights systems. We all acknowledge that the responsibility to protect human rights is one of the most substantial duties of a state. I am convinced that, in order to fulfil this duty properly, it is crucial to review the situation regularly. This report reflects current problems which affect Union citizens and also those living elsewhere. Active engagement in monitoring the situation in other regions of the world is indispensable if the European Union wants to be regarded as a responsible and powerful partner on the international scene, not only in the economic field, but also as regards conflict prevention. Moreover, I regard this as our responsibility to promote values of democracy and the rule of law, understanding that this is the best way to ensure peaceful development and the raising of living conditions."@en1
