"This year’s annual report on human rights in the world contains some good and constructive paragraphs on issues like: support for human rights defenders and the International Criminal Court; action against torture, discrimination and persecution of ethnic and religious minorities; women’s and children’s rights; and the fight against corruption, human trafficking, sexual violence and exploitation. A number of ECR proposals are included, such as on how business and human rights are not necessarily two opposites, but can reinforce each other. An important ECR suggestion adopted is the warning against continuously expanding the catalogue of human rights, including with unrelated issues, or politically or ideologically controversial ideas, as this only undermines the acceptance of human rights as universal. However, the report also contains issues the ECR Group cannot support, or which are subject to a free vote for its members, such as an institutionalized EP presence at the UN, calls for the abolition of the death penalty, including in the US, and abortion and same-sex marriage. Finally, this report swerves into many other policy areas such as development, trade, fiscal policy, climate and asylum and migration policies, which is something the ECR strongly opposed."@en1
