Venezuela would like to express its support for the statement by China. In this context we think it is an important opportunity and cannot be used to further political agendas, launching attacks on sovereign states, which are unacceptable and will undermine the goals we seek in this forum, whereas we support free expression of ideas and participations by civil society organizations which make valuable contributions in spirit of cooperation and working together which is characteristic of such mechanism as this one. We cannot agree with speakers to use inappropriate language, and with state members which are not being treated with appropriate respect. I would like to ask the chairman to call this speaker to order to address the item under consideration. President of the Forum: Thank you, Venezuela. There is another point of order raised by the distinguished delegation of Austria. I now call upon the delegation of Austria. Austrian delegation: The Chair, my delegation attaches high importance to the voices of civil societies being heard. We believe that the presentation of concrete examples of human rights violations under this item is legitimate. States that disagree with the contents of the intervention may use their right of reply. With that, I would like to ask you let the speaker to continue his statement. [loud applause] President of the Forum:
