Once again, the majority in Parliament has drawn up a report on human rights around the world, which, although it contains some points with which we agree, is essentially characterised by an overriding manipulative and reductive view of human rights – political, social, economic and cultural – using them as grounds for interventionism and for exerting political pressure in some countries, always for the EU’s interests and convenience.
It is a strategy of using human rights that involves an attempt to exploit the United Nations Human Rights Council, where the idea is to isolate those countries that do not kowtow to the dictates of imperialism.
As we have highlighted before, this is an act of extreme hypocrisy in which countries referred to as ‘friends’ are safeguarded and the ‘others’, which the USA and the EU have pinpointed as a target, are criticised. This is an exercise with which we can have no truck. Once again, the report is completely remiss when it comes to Israel; it completely overlooks Israel’s brutal policy of aggression and occupation of Palestine, and the fact that Israel systematically violates international law and undermines the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to their own sovereign, independent and viable state."@en1
