00:00Colombia defends human rights and will continue to do so.
00:04But my country believes that protecting human rights loses credibility
00:09when it becomes subjected to political calculation.
00:14I categorically reject human rights being used as a banner raised against some and lowered against others.
00:23Nor can human rights become an instrument rewarding friends, punishing adversaries
00:29or, worse still, remaining silent in line with the political circumstances of the time.
00:36Our duty is to prevent politics from weakening the defense of human rights.
00:42If we want the system to be respected, it needs to be serious, consistent and equally demanding on all of
00:51us.
00:51My country is consistent and therefore we want to ensure that we have a credible defense of human rights.
01:00And in this, just as in so many other areas, the United Nations still has some room for improvement.
01:07So, you can see that's kind of a Sergei, way of fighting parallel law.
01:07Grazie.
