This year too, I notice that this marathon report on human rights in the world does not reach any of the objectives that it should have set itself.
Who does not see that the moral lessons addressed to one or another country, the abusive incriminations, the hazardous implications, constitute an inadmissible interference, repeated many times, in the home affairs of the country concerned and, as a result, unlikely to change things for the better?
Furthermore, in whose name does this Parliament judge the diplomacy of Member States in denouncing those who ‘support undemocratic regimes in various parts of the world insofar as they serve those Member States’ own national, economic, military (…) interests’?
Finally, as the wild remarks about the fight against international terrorism show, a fight stigmatised in this report because it ‘has threatened human rights protection significantly’, naive, moralizing optimism always prevails over objective realism. Now if there is any area in which naive idealism often turns out to be disastrous, it is in foreign policy.
It is high time that Europe admits this geopolitical feature by quickly ceasing its futile inquisitorial campaigns."@en1
