 EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: NO PEACE WITHOUT JUSTICE WELCOMES THE ADOPTION OF THE CAPPATO REPORT AS A STRONG STAND FOR THE WORLDWIDE PROMOTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, DEMOCRACY AND RULE OF LAW
Brussels/Rome, 8 May 2008. The European Parliament Annual Report on Human Rights in the World in 2007, prepared by Rapporteur Marco Cappato, the Italian Radical MEP, was approved today in plenary by the European Parliament. The Report, which assesses the state of human rights in the world in 2007 and also evaluates the EU's efforts to promote human rights through its policies, is in part a response to the annual report on human rights published by the Council and Commission last October. No Peace Without Justice (NPWJ), which collaborated closely with the Rapporteur through the civil society consultation process established by the EP Foreign Affairs Committee, welcomes the clear stand taken by the European Parliament on several policy issues we consider to be priorities for the European Union and its member States in the protection and promotion of human rights, democracy and the rule of law throughout the world.
Declaration by Sergio Stanzani and Gianfranco Dell’Alba, President and Secretary General of No Peace Without Justice
“No Peace Without Justice fully supports and underscores the Report’s explicit recognition that sustainable peace cannot be achieved through deals to protect violators of human rights and international humanitarian law and that justice and accountability are essential pillars of sustainable peace.
