". 2003 was an even blacker year for human rights, a year in which the people of Iraq were subject to the unprovoked and murderous attack of the USA and its European allies, while the people of Afghanistan and the Balkans continue to sigh and bleed beneath the boot of the conquerors. The crude interventions by the imperialist powers, with the fomentation of conflict in every corner of the world, are a daily occurrence. The murder of the Palestinian people continues. Human rights are trampled over on a daily basis, while poverty and misery in both the third world and the developed countries grow worse. The ΕU and other imperialist centres bear almost sole responsibility for this situation. The resolution, despite its positive references, states that 'progress has been made' on respect for human rights, 'in particular through the European Union's commitment'. At the same time, it fully supports the hysterical stance of the EU and the USA on terrorism and says nothing about the trampling underfoot, on the pretext of combating terrorism, of basic democratic and social freedoms or the countless violations of the USA, simply hinting at some, without saying who is responsible, with the exception of the detainees in Guantanamo Bay. For these reasons, we MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece did not vote for the report. We express our support for the peoples who are fighting against the New Order for their rights."@en1
