"We believe that the European Union should renew its commitment to support the protection of human rights and democracy by making it central to all of its policies. In order to maximise its credibility globally, the EU must act consistently, in accordance with Treaty and obligations, but, above all, it must avoid double standards between its human rights policy and other external policies, between internal and external policies, and in the conduct of its relations with third countries. We recall that economic and social rights have also been an integral part of human rights, since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. We believe, therefore, that the EU must help to implement these rights in less advanced and developing countries with which it signs international and trade agreements. The goals of development, democracy, human rights and good governance are intertwined; we reiterate the need for all EU external actions to combine a political dimension that supports pluralism, democracy and respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, and a development dimension that focuses on socio-economic progress."@en1
