"The report includes a number of positive points – for example, regarding Guantánamo or acknowledgement of EU complicity in certain regimes; it is no accident that these have already fallen at the hands of their peoples – but that does not change the fact that it is overwhelmingly negative. Yet again, we are witnessing human rights being put to use; being viewed as a pawn in the political game and used in the interests of the major EU powers and the large companies and financial sectors thereof. As with previous annual reports, there is absolutely no mention of the flagrant human rights violations in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, occupied Cyprus or Western Sahara. These are violations in which EU Member States and/or their allies – the US, Israel, Turkey or Morocco – have undeniably been complicit. On Libya and the military aggression suffered by its people, with tragic consequences that can still not be fully determined, they only regret not having intervened sooner. They advocate new, enhanced instruments for open intervention in the domestic affairs of sovereign states similar to instruments that the US has been using for a long time, in breach of the letter and spirit of the UN Charter. This is a shameful and intolerable demonstration of the imperialist impetus behind EU actions."@en1
