De britiske konservative stemte for beslutningen om Afghanistan, som indeholder mange nyttige elementer, men vi kan ikke acceptere den underforståede kritik af USA 's handlinger i betragtning I og ønsket i det nye punkt 15 a om, at EU som sådan skaber sin egen politiske rolle, forslaget i punkt 15 om, at Rådet bør tage sit forslag om tilbagesendelse af flygtninge op til fornyet overvejelse eller forslaget i det nye punkt 10 a om, at ISAF' s militære styrker skal anvendes til at undersøge krænkelser af menneskerettighederne, uanset vores ubetingede ønske om at forbedre menneskerettighedssituationen, især for kvinderne.
British Conservatives voted in favour of the resolution on Afghanistan, which contains many useful elements, but we do not accept the implied criticism of US actions in Recital I, and in the new paragraph 15a; the desire for the EU as such to create a political role for itself; the suggestion in paragraph 15 that the Council should reconsider its proposals for return of refugees; or indeed the proposal in the new paragraph 10a that ISAF military forces should be employed to investigate human rights abuses, notwithstanding our earnest desire for improvement in the human rights situation, particularly in relation to the situation of women.
