Not forgetting its previous positions on the definition of this UN body’s operation, in which the attempts to guarantee its monitoring and organisation were obvious – we recall the EU’s criticisms and pressure in relation to, for example, the way in which certain countries were elected to this body (regretting the ‘clean slate’ principle and defending the introduction of eligibility criteria), the ‘Special Procedure’ mechanism, the reinforcement of country mandates and the possibility of creating new mandates by simple majority, or even the terms of the ‘Universal Periodic Review’ – the European Parliament has adopted a resolution which, although heading along the same lines, is more moderate in the explanation of its true objectives.
Among other aspects, we would highlight its unacceptable pressure for each Member State to make its proposals in this UN body dependent on the positions which may be adopted by the EU, thereby subordinating their sovereignty on foreign policy. We would also highlight the political opinion withdrawn from the countries mentioned – and also from some not mentioned – showing once again the application of ‘double standards’, in other words the orchestration of human rights according to the EU’s interests."@en1
