"This resolution supports the European Union’s priorities for the 19th session of the UN Human Rights Council. The EU’s hypocritical agenda on human rights is nothing new: it points the finger at countries where it has an interest in economic, geostrategic, political or diplomatic domination, ignoring ‘friends’ or even human rights violations within its own borders. Moreover, there is much to say about these violations in and/or by the EU. They hypocritically pronounce themselves in favour of the ‘indivisibility’ and ‘universality’ of human rights, but have a restrictive understanding of these rights, promoting sordid IMF-EU plans that jeopardise them and imposing unheard-of steps backwards socially by compromising peoples’ right to sovereignty and development. It is also notorious that no clear mention – or any mention, in some cases – is made of the systematic human rights violations by the United States at the illegal base of Guantánamo in Cuba, of the massacres of thousands of civilians by NATO in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Libya, of the occupation of Western Sahara and the violation of its people’s rights, or of the upholding of Israel’s policy of apartheid over the people of Palestine and of the blockade against Gaza, amongst many other examples."@en1
