"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, ladies and gentlemen, the creation of the European External Action Service is a historic opportunity to address issues of human rights and democracy. It must ensure, in particular, that respect for and promotion of human rights are central to the various parts of the European Union’s external policy. Greater synergy between the European Union delegations and embassies of Member States is desirable, with the aim of adopting one human rights strategy per country, given that the specific details vary greatly from country to country. The death penalty, which is practised in many parts of the world, is one of the most inhuman forms of law enforcement. The use of capital punishment is of concern in Belarus, the only country in Europe that still applies the death penalty. It is important to put an end to the types of human right violations suffered by women, including female genital mutilation. All political means should also be brought to bear to support the United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for an international moratorium on female genital mutilation. I conclude by calling for greater efforts to be made by the Commission and the Council to circulate the European Union annual report on human rights."@en1
