"The European Parliament’s concern about respect for human rights is acknowledged the world over, and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, awarded annually and intended to give recognition to figures or entities famous for defending human rights and fundamental freedoms, is highly regarded. This report by José Ignacio Salafranca Sánchez-Neyra concerns Parliament’s recommendation to the Council on nominating a European Union Special Representative (EUSR) for Human Rights. The structure of the EU is founded on human rights, universal values that should be taken into account in all the EU’s negotiations with third countries. In fact, there are still a great many human rights violations, of which I would highlight the cases of monks’ self-immolation in Tibet and the continued massacre of innocent people in Syria; these two alone would justify this appointment. I therefore welcome this recommendation to appoint an EUSR for Human Rights, who will work for justice and human rights and for the abolition of the death penalty, will advocate causes opposing impunity, and will defend the rights of women, children, minorities and any form of discrimination."@en1
