I am convinced that today terrorism poses the main threat to human rights and freedoms as well as to the sustainable development of states and people,

Upholding human rights is not merely compatible with fighting terrorism, it is essential.

Fighting terrorism is central to the human rights cause. But using illegal tactics against alleged terrorists is both wrong and counterproductive.

It would be easy to define terrorism as attacks against human rights and international humanitarian law forbids attacks against innocent non-combatants which is often the definition used for terrorism.

It's monstrous that Europe, which is fighting for human rights, refused seriously sick Slobodan Milosevic treatment.

As I am today, I was concerned about human rights, and I was concerned about the well-being of the working people of this country,
