lpv:translated text	". Madam President, the representative of the Presidency-in-Office of the Council said that a rigorous assessment must be carried out. The problem is that the assessment is never the same for the persecuted, for the imprisoned and, especially, for the families of the people condemned to death, as it is for those of us who, technically, are in a position to do this work. The Commission has committed itself to continuing to work with full respect for human rights in the case of these three countries. Of course, Commissioner. In these three countries we are faced with three different situations, but in all three cases we can say that there has been less progress than we would have liked in terms of civil freedoms and rights. In Cambodia, despite the fact that there has been some progress, we are still very far from being able to talk about political freedoms, particularly in the case of women and girls, who are victims of sexual trafficking, sexual tourism and of one of the most abject situations of slavery that any woman or girl can experience. In Laos, as the Council and the Commission have said quite rightly, there are still prisoners of conscience and the entire hmong population is still being persecuted in the forests in an entirely sub-human situation. In Vietnam — as has also been said — we are seriously concerned about religious freedom, which, according to the information we have received from human rights organisations, may in some cases be being increasingly repressed. Finally, this Parliament can provide a voice for those places where human rights are being violated. This Parliament’s Human Rights Sub-Committee has worked hard to highlight the situation of these three countries and I believe that it is very important that any improvements or deterioration of the situation be communicated to this Parliament. As always, the rest of the world, the world that is suffering, is waiting for us to act."@en1
