"I voted in favour of the resolution on Parliament’s position on the 19th session of the UN Human Rights Council. The UNHRC is a specific forum dealing with human rights within the UN system and is entrusted with the important task of strengthening the promotion, protection and respect of human rights around the globe. We, Members of the European Parliament, welcome the designation of Burma/Myanmar, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), Syria, Libya and Iran as key issues, as those issues are also priorities of the EU. We also reiterate once more the call to EU Member States to actively oppose any attempt to undermine the concept of universality, indivisibility and interdependence of human rights. We also condemn in the strongest terms the widespread brutal repression and systematic violations of human rights by the Syrian regime against its population, including children, and call on the Syrian authorities to bring an immediate end to violence and to comply with their obligations under international human rights law in order to allow a peaceful and democratic transition. In this regard, the decision to establish the mandate of special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Syria is highly welcomed."@en1
