"Mr President, the situation in Bahrain is one of ferocious repression of a people fighting for democracy and freedom, to whom we here wish to express our complete solidarity. Various examples of this repression have been mentioned in this debate. Foreign troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which invaded the country, have taken part in this repression. Let us not forget that this is a country which is home to the biggest United States base in the Persian Gulf and the Fifth Fleet of the US Navy, which is considered a strategic platform for the whole region.
It is time to put an end to this self-serving understanding of human rights, which binds and subjugates them to the geopolitical and geostrategic interests of imperialist powers. It is time to bring an end to this profound hypocrisy, which is clouding the issue of human rights in order to intervene in and carry out acts of aggression against countries and sovereign peoples, so as to plunder their resources, staying silent or speaking out only very quietly against the repression perpetrated by ‘friendly’ regimes, in a shocking show of complacency and even complicity towards these regimes."@en1
