"At international level, the European Union has been adopting the role of guardian and interpreter of human rights, and of honest broker between parties on poor terms, where violations of these rights are very often at stake. It has a history of actions and decisions that have made it into a political bloc that is particularly cohesive and active on these issues, seen as setting an example by the outside world. Despite this cohesion, the high standards required in this area and Europe’s efforts to live up to its practices and its legacy justify the appointment of a European Union Special Representative (EUSR) who is specifically entrusted with these issues and can represent it, particularly when human rights are on the agenda. I agree with the ideal profile of candidates to the post suggested by Mr Salafranca, as well as his description of what the EUSR’s duties should be and the resources available to him/her. I hope that the first EUSR will be up to the challenge, and that his/her intellectual stature and how he/she acts will bring dignity to the role, and make the EUSR visible and respected on the international stage."@en1
