Thank you very much. I'd like to thank colleagues around the table for their expression of support of this amendment.
I had the privilege of serving in Iraq as an official of the United Nations between 2005 and 2012. During that time, the Abu Ghraib scandal broke. Nothing flies in the face of human dignity as does torture. This is a practice where really the only answer is the one that's been echoed by colleagues here, which is to stand up and to take a position that is firmly against the practice and all its aspects. There is nothing to gain here, and we're working towards the elimination of torture globally, so we have no choice but to follow Mr. Picard. I'd like to congratulate him on the amendment. I support it wholeheartedly.
