"We are in favour of appointing a European Union Special Representative (EUSR) for Human Rights because we believe that this can enhance the visibility, effectiveness, coherence and accountability of EU action in this field. Of course, Parliament should play its part in the appointment procedure and the oversight of the mandate during its entire term in order to encourage transparency and accountability.
The policy objectives should include enhancing the coherence, effectiveness and visibility of EU action in the protection and promotion of human rights and democracy throughout the world, strengthening the rule of law and institution building, international justice and international humanitarian law. While fulfilling their mandate, the EUSR for Human Rights should cooperate with representatives of local, regional and national civil society, and with non-governmental organisations (NGOs), experts and regional and international organisations acting in the field of protection of human rights and democracy. The EUSR will also be responsible for constituting a team, covering the necessary policy expertise. Given the need to ensure coherence and the mainstreaming of human rights across the activities of all EU institutions, this team may include seconded staff from Member States and the EU institutions."@en1
