European Parliament
Timothy Kirkhope (PPE-DE ),
in writing
I and my British Conservative colleagues are strong supporters of providing support to victims of sexual abuse and other crimes during and after conflict. We support measures outlined in this report including prosecuting those responsible for genocide and war crimes and other crimes mentioned in this report.
However, we have abstained on this report today because we do not support the principle of arbitrary quotas of men or women in any sphere, including what is suggested in this report. This principle of quotas, we believe, is demeaning to women.
