"Human rights are indeed indivisible, but what is happening is that the European Union is not fulfilling this precept, as while it is taking positive steps in terms of rights based on gender and sexual orientation, it is involved in an accelerated process of denying and even destroying social rights – which are human rights – as well as economic and political rights. These attacks affect everyone, including the social groups given the greatest mention in this resolution.
At the same time, several EU countries and the EU itself are involved in operations of intervention and aggression, as in the case of Libya, or of condoning crimes, as in the case of Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, or, in the past, involvement in acts of profound disrespect for human rights, such as the US Central Intelligence Agency’s flights and secret prisons, which undermine the principles set out in this resolution. In other words, the EU lacks credibility when it talks about ‘universal and indivisible’ human rights.
Although we voted for this motion for a resolution, we therefore reject the idea, in the name of human rights, that there should be any tactics of intervention or even aggression now or in the future, as these themselves are gross violations of human rights and international law itself."@en1
