"Without playing down important aspects with which we clearly disagree, not to mention its flagrant omissions and contradictions, this resolution:
‘denounces the lack of action taken so far … to shed light on the extraordinary renditions programme’;
‘calls on the Member States, the Commission and the Council … to assist in ascertaining the truth by opening inquiries or collaborating with the competent bodies, … and by ensuring effective parliamentary scrutiny of the action of secret services’;
‘calls on the European Union, the Member States and the US authorities to investigate and fully clarify the abuses and violations of international and national law on human rights, fundamental freedoms, the prohibition of torture and ill-treatment, enforced disappearance and the right to a fair trial committed in connection with the “war against terror”, so as to establish responsibility … and to ensure that such violations will not recur in the future’.
However, the resolution does not demystify or denounce the fundamental element, namely the so-called ‘fight against terror’, nor does it condemn what it terms the ‘limited maintenance of rendition schemes and of secret detention facilities’ by the US.
We need clear condemnation and a search for the truth, as in fact the Portuguese Communist Party proposed in the Portuguese Parliament and as the Portuguese Socialist, Social Democrat and Popular Parties rejected."@en1
