"Mr President, this is the third motion for a resolution on Burma since the beginning of the year. The previous resolution was adopted in September and also concerned the violence in Rakhine State and the plight of the Rohingya, who are persecuted by all Burma’s political forces, including the friends of Aung San Suu Kyi. It is true that the situation of the Rohingya community has not improved; in fact, it has deteriorated further. Our motion for a resolution takes an even firmer stance with regard to the Burmese authorities than that adopted in September, and I welcome that. The Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left has therefore been involved in drafting this motion for a resolution and will support it, but I cannot help wondering about the relevance of the subjects of our urgent motions for a resolution and, above all, about their usefulness. It is our duty and responsibility to be more balanced in our choice of urgent subjects of debate and not to worry about whether it will annoy this or that state. Our resolutions must condemn human rights violations, irrespective of the strategic, political and economic interests of the European Union and its Member States. It would have been more relevant, in my opinion, to talk about the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Kivu provinces or the rule of law in Turkey as regards the Kurdish question, at a time when hundreds of Kurds are on a hunger strike that almost cost several lives and when Mr Erdogan is calling for the reintroduction of the death penalty."@en1
