Jeg mener, fru formand, at hvis vi stillede os spørgsmålet om, hvem der har fordel af dette mord, og hvem det er til skade for, er der ingen, der kan være i tvivl om det hårde slag, det har betydet for alle dem, som har engageret sig i denne fredsproces i Guatemala, der har været så vanskelig at opnå.
I think, Madam President, that if we were to ask ourselves who benefits and who is harmed by this assassination, there can be no doubt that it was a hard blow for all those people who have shown determination and commitment to the Guatemalan peace process, which was so difficult to achieve.
González Alvarez (GUE/NGL). - (ES) Fru formand, jeg synes, at vi på dette møde flere gange har talt om straffrihed og om, hvordan mordene nogle gange går ud over dem, der forsvarer menneskerettighederne.
Kreissl-Dörfler (V).- (DE) Madam President, the au thorities and the military in Guatemala should take re sponsibility for the serious and systematic infringement of human rights in that country.
Jeg mener, at Monseigneur Gerardis rapport, der indeholder mere end .5000 tilkendegivelser fra dem, hvis rettigheder blev krænket i den foregående periode, netop er en rapport, der modsætter sig straffriheden.
As has been said, Bishop Gerardi had coordinated the documents reflecting the human rights violations which occurred in that country during the years of armed con flict, and the conclusions of that work had just been pre sented to the public.
Det, Monseigneur Gerardis rapport tilsigter, er, at der ikke igen indtræffer begivenheder, som dem, der har fundet sted i Guatemala.
Europe supports many projects in Guatemala, including the build-up of new security forces. Here it is essential for the EU to ensure that no support whatsoever is given to human rights violators of the old guard.
Faktisk sagde han, da han sluttede sin rapport: »Nu kan jeg dø ro ligt.
We are obviously keen to hear the conclusions of those investigations.
Gid der aldrig sker noget lignende i Guatemala igen.« Derfor har de kolleger ret, der er fremkommet med indlæg om, at det er nødvendigt, at fredsaftalen bevares, men at fredsaftalen uden straffrihed bevares.
The Guatemalan government is committed to those agreements, as are most of the parties and civil organizations in that country, as well as the group of friendly countries which supported the dialogue which culminated in those peace agree ments.
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) Fru formand, mordet på biskop Juan José Gerardi anses af mange for et angreb på freds processen.
Such an act, so painful and worthy of condemnation, can not call a country's image into question, but we find it von Habsburg (PPE). - (DE) Madam President, we all sympathize with the death of Bishop Gerardi, which has been a grave loss for the people of Guatemala.
Hans velærværdighed har spillet en vigtig rolle ved åbningen af sagerne om mordene og attentaterne under borgerkrigen.
Colombia olence which also murdered the former defence minister, MPs, lowly town councillors, journalists, peasant farm ers, women and children - in other words, everybody.
Afslutningen af straffriheden er essentiel for konsolideringen af fredsprocessen, og derfor skal gerningsmændene til dette mord findes og straffes hurtigt.
This violence is committed in the name of justice - what irony! - or to demand justice; a violence which black mails and kidnaps; a violence which is fascist, drug-related, and mafia-like.
Kommissionen på højt niveau, som det hedder, der er nedsat af regeringen, skal gennemføre sit arbejde hurtigt og troværdigt.
This sudden, politically motivated crime is the worst attack to date on the human rights movement and on all the opposition groups in Colombia.
Opretholdelsen af troværdigheden er essentiel for fremgangen i fredsprocessen.
This lawyer of many years' standing was known to some of us personally.
Morderen eller morderne har forsøgt at forstyrre fredsprocessen, formoder vi.
It is an open secret as to which ofthe state and military forces were behind this murder.
Det må de ikke få held til.
In a few days' time presidential elections will be held.
Unionen skal opfordre og støtte parterne i Guatemala til at fortsætte ad vejen mod opnåelse af den vanskelige og vedvarende fred. Unionen var til stede for at fordømme
The Commission must review the terms of its entire policy of cooperation with Colombia, otherwise the people fighting for human rights in Colom bia will soon not just be muzzled but murdered!
I løbet af eftermiddagen skal vi også debattere menneske rettighederne i Colombia.
Eduardo Umana Mendoza is the third human rights activist to be killed in a very short space of time.
Mere end tre menneskerettighedsforkæmpere er blevet myrdet, to af dem efter at have talt med de europæiske repræsentanter.
Rather, the cause of this epidemic is the support given by North America to the dictatorships these countries have suffered.
Vi synes, det er meget alvorligt, at der eksisterer en straffrihed, som tillader, at der til stadighed forsvinder personer, der forsvarer menneskerettighederne i et hvilket som helst af disse lande.
Miranda de Lage (PSE). - (ES) Madam President, it is with sadness, regret and anger, and also a sense of frustration, that I rise once again in this Parliament to condemn violence - all the violence committed in Colombia, and the rest of the world too.
Kommissionen må - som fru Salafranca sagde -gøre alt, hvad der står i dens magt, for at forhindre, at dette sker.
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) Madam President, in its recent report on human rights the US State Department called
militære og civile repressionsapparater, en strafferetslig forfølgelse af de paramilitære grupper, en ophævelse af straffriheden og erstatninger til ofrene.
He always had a certain sorrow in his eyes, a sor­row which is easily understood because in a country like Turkey you need not only courage, indeed foolhardiness, but also obstinacy to devote your life to the defence of other people's lives.
REMHI giver menneskene deres værdighed tilbage.
The murder attempt of which he was victim does not surprise me.
I den forbindelse skal hjælperne beskyttes, især ude på landet.
I think Mr Birdal expected it too.
Når denne forbrydelse beklages og fordømmes, skal der gives udtryk for solidaritet med de pårørende, samar­bejdspartnerne og det guatemalanske folk i almindelig­hed.
He had received several threats and he had never been able to receive any police protection whatsoever.
EU støtter mange projekter i Guatemala, bl.a. under op­bygningen af de nye sikkerhedstjenester. Herunder skal EU så absolut sikre, at der ikke støttes personer fra den gamle garde, som har krænket menneskerettighederne.
the situation in Colombia poor, and that is saying some­thing.
Men jeg tror, at vi netop i et sådant øjeblik bør tænke på, at hans værk skal føres videre.
The Colombian gov­ernment has an interest in this.
International indblanding vil imidlertid næppe være det rette middel.
I think the Commission and the Council must give another clear signal to Colom­bia that we are getting serious now.
Den guatemalanske regering har i den sidste tid vist, i hvor høj grad den har bestræbt sig på at skabe ro og orden.
Today's motion for a resolution rightly calls for a Commission report on the hu­man rights situation in Colombia.
Men efter 30 års borgerkrig er det simpelthen utænkeligt, at dette sker fra den ene dag til den anden.
Our agreement with Colombia contains a human rights clause, and for good reason.
En så smertefuld og forkastelig handling kan ikke sætte spørgsmålstegn ved et lands ansigt udadtil, men den for­uroliger os som et udtryk for en vold, der stadig er meget fremtrædende i det guatemalanske samfund.
Turkey, a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Hu­man Rights, cannot continue with its policy of repression and persecution towards journalists, magistrates, parlia­mentarians, defenders of human rights, Kurds and ordi­nary citizens.
Guatemalas befolkning fortjener den bedst mulige fremtid efter årtier med væbnet konfrontation og vold.
The sentence pronounced against Mr Er­dogan, mayor of Istanbul, is a further sad example, if one were needed.
Med freden i Guatemala kulminerede også en fredsproces i hele det mellemamerikanske område.
Langen (PPE). ­ (DE) Madam President, ladies and gen­tlemen, once again this House has occasion to express its concerns about human rights and freedom of speech in Turkey.
Det guatemalan­ske folk fortjener al vores støtte for sin indsats for løsning af konflikterne med dialog og ikke med brug af vold.
We do so without any exaggerated view of our own capabilities and without belittling our own problems, even within the European Union.
Kreissl­Dörfler (V). ­ (DE) Fru formand, mordet på Eduardo Umana har rystet os.
Democratic states are convinced that banning political parties hardly constitutes a solution.
Denne pludselige og også politiske forbrydelse er det hidtil værste slag mod menne­skerettighedsbevægelsen og hele oppositionen i Colum­bia.
It is certainly no so­lution to the internal arguments which have been waged in Turkey between those holding different political views,. such as Erbakan's party or the successor Fazilet Partisi (Virtue Party).
På grund af sine sidste sager måtte han betale med livet, hvilket han også var blevet truet med. Den vel nok mest synlige advokat i Columbia havde nemlig i 20 år konsekvent og ubønhørligt repræ­senteret ofre for menneskerettighedskrænkelser.
The assault on the president ofthe Turkish Association of Hu­man Rights, Akin Birdal, is the product of an unwhole­some political climate which favours and breeds violence, and the activity of the para­state against the democratic and human rights of the Turkish people.
Det er en åben hemmelighed, hvilke kræfter i statsapparatet og i militæret der står bag mordet.
Nor does it hesitate to fabricate legal rulings aimed at removing senior politicians, such as the mayor of Istanbul, Mr Erdogan, from public life.
De, der på trods af dette fortsat fremmer økonomisk samarbejde med Columbia og indrømmer toldlempelser via APS, gør sig medskyldige i en vanvittig voldsspiral, som drejes videre af dem, der drager nytte af situationen.
We are waiting to see what will be the fate of Recai Kutan, who was this morning appointed president ofthe Fazilet Party.
Vi har tillid til, at processen med at få opklaret den forbry­delse, der blev begået mod Monseigneur Gerardi, afslut­tes mere tilfredsstillende end andre åbne processer, som ved mordet på politikeren Jorge Carpio Nicol eller juri­sten González Dubón.
Turkey itself is undergoing the process of transition to a normal society, which is something the laical constitution of Kemal Atatürk cannot live up to, for in my mind this constitution does not allow sufficient scope for religious freedom and for the religious activities of its citizens.
Det var et af hovedmålene med den 1000 si­der lange betænkning fra REMHI under ledelse af biskop Juan Gerardi.
Respect for human rights has certainly improved in a number of areas in recent years.
Efter fredsaftalerne blev der hverken renset ud i militæret eller i efterretningstjenesterne.
Nevertheless, it is shocking that at­tacks on journalists and human rights activists are not prosecuted with the necessary vigour.
I betænkningen nævnes gerningsmændene endelig ved navn, og der kræves kon­sekvenser.
Prime Minister Yil­maz has promised that firm action will be taken to find those responsible for the cowardly attack on Mr Birdal.
Hertil hører en øjeblikkelig opløsning af de
We can only hope that this will be the case.
Så sent som i går eftermiddag trængte 30 soldater med ransagningskendelser ind hos Justicia y Paz og andre menneskerettighedskontorer, angiveligt som et led i jag­ten på eftersøgte attentatmænd.
The European Parliament must take urgent action and force the Turkish government to respect the rights of the Turkish people and to abide by its obligations, which arise both from the customs union and from its other in­ternational commitments.
En sådan intimidering af menneskerettighedsforkæmpere er aldeles uacceptabel, og Rådet bør klart tage afstand fra denne politik i Colum­bia.
We call for the immediate un­masking of those guilty of the assassination attempt against Akin Birdal.
Kommissionen må revidere og knytte betingelser til hele sit samarbejde med Columbia, ellers vil menneske­rettighedsforkæmperne i Columbia snart være døde, og ikke blot tavse!
We also call for the repeal ofthe rul­ing by the state security court against the mayor of Istan­bul and the 16 businessmen.
Hr. kommissær, det ville glæde mig, hvis jeg fra Deres side også for en gangs skyld modtog svar på spørgsmål.
We call for the release of all political detainees in Turkey.
Jeg ved, at De er en diplomatiets mester, men et svar ville i høj grad være på sin plads.
Human rights are not sim­ply an internal matter for a state.
Marset Campos (GUE/NGL). - (ES) Fru formand, som læge må jeg beklage, at der har udviklet sig en side af epidemiologien i Latinamerika, som hedder voldsepidemiologi.
Roth to health, we hope that for today, for tomorrow and be yond you will be, and you will remain, the old Akin _ Birdal, always courageous, always determined, always full of hope, the Akin Birdal who was at all times full of humanity, full of cheer and above all uncompromising.
Med Eduardo Umana Mendoza er den tredje aktive menneskerettighedsforkæmper inden for kort tid blevet dræbt.
That is what we need to see be fore we can welcome Turkey as a member of the Euro pean Union.
Vi må virkelig kræve, at disse re præsentanter for menneskerettighederne får en bedre be skyttelse under udførelsen af deres arbejde.
The Turkish government must be absolutely clear about that.
Regeringen er åbenbart ikke i stand til at gribe ind med fast hånd, men vold er ikke nogen løsning, navnlig ikke for folket, som også i dette land lider mest under de her skende forhold, for Columbia gælder efterhånden slet og ret som et voldens land, og det kan folket ikke gøre for.
Hatzidakis (PPE). - (EL) Madam President, the two is sues we are debating today - the assassination attempt on Akin Birdal, the president of the Turkish Association of Human Rights, and the prison sentence ofthe mayor of Is tanbul, Mr Erdogan - have one thing in common: the idiosyncratic conception of human rights held by the Turkish establishment, particularly the Turkish army.
Europa skiller sig derimod ud ved til stadighed at kæmpe for menneskerettighederne, kæmpe for retfærdigheden, ligheden, og derfor mener jeg, at det er vores ansvar, at man bemærker forskellen mellem den nordamerikanske indflydelse, der spreder rædsel, og Den Europæiske Unions indflydelse, der spreder fred og samdrægtighed.
The as sassination attempt against Mr Birdal is the culmination of a series of attacks and prosecutions perpetrated against him, often encouraged and instigated by the authorities, because of his sensitivity to human rights.
Derfor skulle Kommissionen handle energisk for at af klare tingene og drage de nødvendige konklusioner.
Turkey's establishment cannot tolerate discontent, protest or a different outlook.
Heller ikke valget den 31. maj vil sætte en stopper for mordene, hvilket fremgår af mordet på den tidligere gene ral Fernando Landazabal, som var rådgiver for præsident kandidaten Andrés Pastrana, også med hensyn til en frem tidig fredsstrategi. Andre kandidater står på dødslisterne, såvel på den ene som på den anden side.
We call upon the Turkish government at this late hour to take the issue of human rights seriously, and not just to make proclamations at the prayer-wheel, but to create a proper and stable foundation for citizens' rights, human rights, basic rights in Turkey, and to grant freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom to establish po litical parties.
Sådan kan man ikke skabe et demokrati, og sådan vil der ikke kunne fin des en løsning.
This must apply to everyone, even mem bers of the Fazilet Party.
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) Fru formand, »U.S. State De partment« har i sin nylige beretning om menneskerettigheder karakteriseret situationen i Colombia som dårlig, og det siger ikke så lidt.
The sentencing of the mayor of Istanbul, on the other hand, shows the attempt to impose a secular state by means of violence.
Særligt har man påpeget kulturen med straffrihed som en forværring af situationen derovre.
It is undeniable that fundamentalism constitutes a threat to democracy.
Menneskerettighedsforkæmperne gør et vigtigt arbejde, også i Colombia. Den colombianske stat har interesse heri.
However, true democracy cannot be defended through persecution and violence.
Jeg mener, at Kom missionen og Rådet endnu en gang skal sende et klart sig nal til den colombianske regering om, at vi nu mener det alvorligt.
Excesses such as sentencing the mayor to prison for reading a poem strengthen rather than weaken his position in the eyes of the public, insofar of course as his position is indeed fundamentalist.
Med rette anmodes der i dag i forslaget til be slutning om en rapport fra Kommissionen om menneske rettighedssituationen i Colombia.
It must therefore be made clear: Turkey's road to Europe has to pass through respect for human rights.
Jeg anmoder om Rådets opmærksom over for dette emne på dets møde den 18. maj.
Let us hope the Turkish government will be able to move in this direction.
Langen (PPE). — (DE) Fru formand, mine ærede damer og herrer, parlamentet har nu igen en anledning til at ud trykke sin bekymring for menneskerettighedssituationen og ytringsfriheden i Tyrkiet.
Eisma (ELDR). - (NL) Madam President, however justified Turkey's criticism ofthe European Union might be -that they feel abandoned in the context of MEDA, in the context of the customs union and in the context of accession - it does not relieve us ofthe duty to continue to point out to Turkey that they must observe human rights.
Dette gør vi uden nogen form for selvglad overvurdering af vores muligheder og uden at bagatellisere egne problemer, heller ikke inden for Den Europæiske Union.
In this context, the attack on Birdal was a blow to us, as was the sentencing ofthe mayor of Istanbul to ten months' imprisonment for questioning the secular state in a political speech.
Om nogle dage afholdes der præsidentvalg.
In this respect, I have nothing to add to what Claudia Roth has said.
Det er vigtigt og bydende nødvendigt, at processen foregår roligt. Freden kan ikke vente meget længere.
Turkey wants to join the European Union, and it could well be that there were a few hitches - and in my view there certainly were - in the talks which were held primarily with the Council last autumn.
Vi må være på vagt og støtte anstrengelserne, og især skal vi forlange, at de voldelige grupper opgiver volden, at de forstår, at dens tid er ovre, og at de, medmindre de vil slå alle ihjel, må lære at forstå, at man altid vinder med demokratiet og taber med volden.
Nevertheless, the pure and simple fact remains that we can only accept Turkey into the EU when it decides to uphold human rights, among many other things.
De demokratiske stater er overbevist om, at der næppe kan løses problemer ved at forbyde partier. Et forbud kan frem for alt ikke erstatte en intern diskussion i Tyrkiet med politisk anderledes tænkende, f.eks. med Erbakans parti og med dets efterfølger Fazilet.
Vanhecke (NI). - (NL) Madam President, it goes without saying that I concur with the present resolution which rightly denounces the worrying violations of the most elementary human rights and freedom of speech in our neighbouring country of Turkey.
Af gode grunde er demokratiske stater meget tilbageholdende, når det gælder partiforbud, da sådanne forbud let får hæftet på sig, at
However, I would like to add that, as far as freedom of speech is concerned, this is no longer always guaranteed in our European countries
litisk klima, der fremmer og føder vold og statens under trykkelse af det tyrkiske folks demokratiske rettigheder og menneskerettigheder.
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) Madam President, decades of political omnipotence, familial enrichment and a com plete lack of interest in the fate ofthe Indonesian citizens have rendered the latter helpless and desperate.
Vi kender stadig ikke noget til Recai Kutans skæbne, selvom han i dag er udnævnt til formand for Faziletpartiet.
His totally undemocratically arranged re-election already heralded a period of absolute terror.
Alligevel er det ry stende, at attentater mod journalister og menneskerettighedsforkæmpere ikke forfølges med det nødvendige ef tertryk.
This very same Parliament approved the customs union with Turkey some years ago, and also 14 to 15 billion francs in Euro pean aid until the year 2000, without setting even the least suspensive conditions.
Ministerpræsident Yilmaz har lovet konsekvent opklaring af det feje attentat mod hr. Birdal.
Yet at that time we knew just as well as we do today what the human rights situation was in Turkey.
Det er presserende nødvendigt, at Europa-Parlamentet tager skridt til at forpligte den tyrkiske regering til at re spektere det tyrkiske folks menneskerettigheder og til at holde sine løfter, som de fremgår af toldunionsaftalen og af andre internationale forpligtelser.
The European Parliament, as usual, needs to make a clear appeal to the Indonesian leaders, and perhaps also to Suharto's successors, to democratize.
Vi kræver en øjeblik kelig identificering af de skyldige i drabsforsøget på Akin Birdal.
The Council and the Commission must stop all aid, except for humanitarian aid.
Vi kræver endvidere, at Statssikkerhedsrådets af gørelse om Istanbuls borgmester og de 16 forretningsfolk tilbagekaldes.
Likewise, the American government must do the same, with conviction.
Vi kræver løsladelse afalle politiske fanger i Tyrkiet.
Clear action to deal with the crisis will have the most effect.
Menneskerettigheder indgår ikke i nogen stats indre anliggender.
We are dealing with a huge country, and I think we will be able to avoid huge problems if we act in this way.
Derfor opfordrer vi den tyrkiske regering og parlamentet til endelig at virkeliggøre ytrings-og samvittighedsfriheden. tighedsfriheden.
If we do not have the courage to say that, then problems will only increase in future, and I am thinking not least of the problem of the millions of Turkish guest workers and temporary immigrants in Eu rope.
Roth (V). - (DE) Fru formand, kære kolleger, kære Akin Birdal, vi er rystede, vi er oprørte, vi sørger og vi er vrede over det brutale mordforsøg, som blev begået mod dig.
Harrison (PSE). - Madam President, in January this year I was part of the European Parliament's delegation which undertook a fact-finding visit to Malaysia.
André-Léonard (ELDR). - (FR) Fru formand, jeg har, hvad jeg tror gælder for mange af os, haft lejlighed til at møde formanden for den tyrkiske menneskerettighedssammenslutning, Akin Birdal.
Malaysia-Indonesia van Dijk (V). - (NL) Madam President, the situation in Indonesia has been getting completely out of hand over the past few weeks, and in particular over the past few days.
Der var altid tristhed i hans blik, en tristhed, der er let at forstå, for i et land som Tyrkiet kræver det ikke alene mod, eller snarere dumdristighed, men også stædighed at vie sit liv til at forsvare an dres.
The regime is taking extremely tough action against the demonstrators, and this has led to dozens of fatalities.
Jeg tror også, at Birdal selv ventede det.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
