"In line with its democratic history and culture of pluralism and promotion of freedom, the European Union has a duty to assume an active role in defence of the Arab peoples’ legitimate and democratic aspirations, namely in Syria, Yemen and Bahrain, where we are witnessing a strong popular demand for political, economic and social reform. The prolongation of absolutist and oppressive regimes has led to the unacceptable deterioration of people’s living conditions and the atrophy of economic and sociocultural development, causing detrimental effects and unsustainable imbalances in the global world in which we live. The European Union therefore has a responsibility to call for decisive action in the context of the UN to defend people’s rights; to support their legitimate representatives in implementing policies to improve citizens’ living conditions; to reduce social inequalities; to ensure the development of true democracy; to combat corruption and nepotism; and to guarantee respect for the rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms."@en1
