Mr President, the question we have heard several times in the course of this debate is this: what exactly is the point of this Charter of Human Rights, when there is already one, and even several universal conventions on human rights and a European Convention on Human Rights, and human rights are included in the constitutions of all the Member States, those of the candidate countries and, generally, in the constitutions of all countries, even those who do not respect human rights?
Der eksisterer allerede flere universelle menneskerettighedskonventioner, og der eksisterer en europæisk konvention til beskyttelse af menneskerettighederne. Beskyttelse af menneskerettighederne indgår i alle medlemsstaternes forfatninger, ligesom menneskerettighedsspørgsmålet indgår i ansøgerlandenes forfatninger, uanset om landene respekterer menneskerettighederne eller ej.
