"One of the European Union’s flagship policies that has won recognition from huge numbers of countries and states is its uncompromising defence of human rights. The European Parliament started analysing its Annual Report on Human Rights in the World in 1983. This report, drafted by Mr Howitt, analyses the annual human rights report and EU policy in this regard. Never before have human rights been as important and led to as many changes, as happened in the ‘Arab Spring’, when men and women, young and old, demonstrated a willingness to give their lives in defence of human rights. However, there is still a long way to go, particularly within the UN, before certain human rights violations, such as the death penalty, are brought to an end once and for all. It is also necessary that the freedom won in the countries with Muslim majorities does not transform itself into the persecution and massacre of minority communities, such as Christians. At a time when we are faced with the news that the Argentine Government, with which the EU has cooperation agreements, has nationalised a Spanish company, it is crucial to review EU strategic policy in this regard."@en1
