"The selectiveness surrounding the countries criticised in this report and the self-serving nature of this debate is clear. The hypocritical use of this report is obvious, as the countries with which the EU has good economic and diplomatic relations and those which are of strategic importance are not criticised, despite their violations of human rights, including, for example, Columbia and Honduras. There is no call for an end to Morocco’s occupation of the Western Sahara or Israel’s occupation of Palestine. Moreover, we cannot support the idea of the European Union having a permanent seat on the United Nations General Assembly because the UN is an organisation made up of sovereign and independent states and the European Union is not a state according to the UN Charter. The defence of human rights, including the fact that they are indivisible and cannot be ranked, and that they are a prerequisite for respecting the rights of people and for genuine social justice, peace, freedom and democracy, form the framework of our political action. You can count on us to defend human rights, but do not count on us for exercises in hypocrisy."@en1
