"The recent prison sentences handed down to prominent human rights lawyers for exercising their freedom of expression show that Syria still employs a lax and often distorted interpretation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which it is a signatory. Persecution, restrictions on freedom, unjust arrests and obstructing the activities of human rights defenders, as well as denying the right to a fair trial in Syria cause internal destabilisation in a country which otherwise has the potential to spread peace and stability in this region.
In my opinion, the Commission should exploit to the full Syria’s desire to conclude an association agreement with the European Union in order to pressure Syria into making a commitment to eliminate persistent breaches of human rights."@en1
