"Madam President, the appointment of a Special Representative for Human Rights provides opportunities, for example, to pay more attention to a human right that is essential, but one that is under great pressure, namely religious freedom. In many countries, this freedom is rapidly disappearing.
In Indonesia, the government is doing little against radical Muslims who are terrorising the Christians and Ahmadis. In Northern Nigeria, the Boko Haram terrorist group throws a bomb into a church almost every week. Unfortunately, we could name countless other examples, which is why we urgently need to pay attention to religious freedom.
The Special Representative has also laid down obligations alongside those opportunities. I am thinking of human rights, of them being taken seriously in Europe’s relationships with other countries. That should be specifically reflected in our trade agreements. In India, 40 million people are trapped in a life of slavery. We cannot therefore have a trade agreement between Europe and India without a strong and effective human rights chapter."@en1
