2012/2143(INI) UN principle of the 'Responsibility to Protect' (R2P). Recommandation to the Council
2013/01/30
DEVE
3 amendments...
Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Welcomes the development of the concept of ‘Responsibility to Protect’ (R2P), which clarifies and strengthens the existing obligations of states to ensure the protection of civilians; stresses that this concept, born from the international community’s failures in Rwanda in 1994, is critical for the survival of the community of nations; calls for further development of the concept and asks the EU to work towards its universality, as an essential part of a collective security model based on multilateralism and the primacy of the United Nations;
Amendment 7 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Recalls, however, that international humanitarian law (IHL) is the prime body of law in times of armed conflict and that its improved implementation should be the focus of the international community; emphasises that R2P is not a legal concept and is narrowly focused on the four crimes of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity, whether in armed conflicts or in peacetime; calls on the EU to promote the R2P principle at the UN, together with the strengthening of the International Criminal Court.
Amendment 13 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Stresses that R2P is primarily a preventive doctrine and that military intervention should be the last recourse in R2P situations; calls for R2P, whenever possible, to be carried out first and foremost through diplomatic and long-term developmental activities that focus on capacity-building in the fields of human rights, good governance, the rule of law, conflict prevention and the strengthening of early warning systems; furthermore, recalls that there are many non-military coercive alternatives, such as preventive diplomacy, sanctions, accountability mechanisms and mediation;

2013/01/02
DEVE
5 amendments...
Amendment 1 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Recalls that sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation has been recognized as a universal human right, and is of fundamental importance for human health and well-being, that ensuring such access is a long-standing objective of development assistance, that halving the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation is part of the Millennium Development Goal 7, but that the UN's 2012 MDG reports forecasts that 600 million people will still lack access to safe drinking water in 2015 and that in Sub-Saharan Africa, progress towards this target is hugely insufficient, with serious consequences for millions of people, being the most vulnerable women and children under 5 years of age;
Amendment 4 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Considers that more resources should be mobilised, including by the EU, especially to improve sanitation, where unmet needs are particularly big; stresses that determined efforts must be made to obtain maximum benefits from all projects, to eliminate recurring quality problems and to strengthen the EU Water Facility financially as well as in terms of management capacity and efficiency in building local capacity; requests the Commission to ensure that the EU Water Facility is properly funded in the next MFF, in order to allow the Union to meet our development and sustainability commitments after 2015.
