Predstavnici čak 80 organizacija za ljudska prava iz cijelog svijeta poslali su pismo hrvatskim zastupnicima u Europskom parlamentu povodom referenduma u ustavnoj zaštiti braka. Objavljujemo pismo i popis organizacija koje su dale potporu održavanju referenduma i zaštiti tradicionalnog braka

Dragi zastupnici Republike Hrvatske u Europskom parlamentu, u nedjelju, 1. prosinca, građani vaše zemlje bit će pozvani da se na referendumu izjasne o pitanju hoće li brak biti „životna zajednica žene i muškarca”.

Mi, niže potpisani, predstavnici 80 organizacija za ljudska prava iz cijele Europe i šire, pozdravljamo referendum kao nastojanje da se očuva i učvrsti najosnovnije ustanove ljudske civilizacije: brak i naravnu obitelj.

S obzirom na to da EU nije nadležna za definiranje braka, želimo vas ohrabriti da ostanete uz svoje sugrađane i poduprete ih na svaki mogući način kao njihovi službeni predstavnici u Europskom parlamentu. Referendum je potpuno sukladan s hrvatskim pravom i pravom EU.

Vrlo je velika zauzetost na razini cijeloga naroda u korist institucije tradicionalnoga braka; to ne predstavlja nikakav čin diskriminacije, kao što neki sugeriraju. Naprotiv, to je odraz razumijevanja koje ljudi imaju da brak ne može biti ništa drugo, nego zajednica muškarca i žene te da je to temeljno dobro društva u cjelini.

Prihvaćanje ovakvoga razumijevanja braka ne oduzima ničija prava. Ono jednostavo čuva i štiti najbolji i najpotrebniji okvir za rađanje djece i za podizanje i formaciju budućih naraštaja.
Sadržaj referenduma 1. prosinca ima čvrsto uporište u međunarodnom pravu. On odražava kako zrelost hrvatskoga naroda, tako i zrelost same demokracije u Hrvatskoj jer istinski teži zajedničkom dobru – ne samo jednoga dijela društva, nego svih građana i zemlje u cjelini.

Mi, predstavnici organizacija za ljudska prava iz cijele Europe i šire, čvrsto podupiremo Hrvatsku u ovom referendumu. I čestitamo vam što imate građane koji su javno angažirani i koji aktivno participiraju u demokraciji vaše zemlje.

S poštovanjem,
