lpv:translated text	"Mr President, what concerns us in particular is the hypocritical and selective manner in which human rights are applied during the exercise of the European Union’s external policy, especially as a pretext for justifying intervention, including military intervention. At the same time, the European Union turns a blind eye to situations in which human rights are being savagely violated when, of course, it comes to protecting its imperialistic interests. Its attitude towards the Turkish regime is a blatant example. The recent and continuing invasion in Kosovo, using the rights of minorities as a pretext, and the unbelievable demands being made on Yugoslavia are a typical example of how military intervention is being advanced as a general principle of international law at the expense of the principle of national sovereignty. Furthermore, the policy being exercised by the European Union at home basically violates a series of fundamental human rights. Political and social rights are being hit and individual rights and democratic freedoms are being trampled underfoot. The results of this policy are already visible in the support being given to extremist, racist, Fascist powers, and not just in Austria. And yet the report on the fight against racism does not demonstrate that the necessary conclusions have been drawn. We call on the people to step up their fight to stop their self-proclaimed saviours trampling on the rights for which they have fought hard and made sacrifices, and to reverse the current trend, which only serves the interests of those who are exploiting them."@en1
