"Madam President, at one time, I was a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, when it had a special Committee on Human Rights. Occasionally, it happened that when we raised a problem in the official Committee on Foreign Affairs, let us say, concerning economic cooperation with China, someone on the committee always remembered to point out that there was a special sub-committee for handling the subject that we were discussing. Moreover, the purpose was obviously not to make human rights an area that is ghettoised, passed over and excluded from the official political agenda. On the contrary, the purpose was for human rights issues to receive the attention that they deserve and actually to raise their profile.
Baroness Ashton, I was extremely happy to hear you express your wish to commit to cooperation and actually insist on it. If it were not for this approach, it would not be worth our considering the appointment of a Special Representative for Human Rights."@en1
