"This resolution is an expression of the support by the majority in Parliament of the EU’s hypocritical agenda for the 19th session of the UN Human Rights Council. It is nothing new. This is a recurrent political stance from those who want to point the finger at countries where the EU has an interest in economic, geostrategic, political or diplomatic domination, ignoring ‘friends’ or even human rights violations. Moreover, there is much to say about these violations in and/or by the EU. They hypocritically pronounce themselves in favour of the ‘indivisibility’ and ‘universality’ of human rights, but they have been supporting the cruel demands on the peoples of countries like Portugal or Greece by the EU, the IMF and their national governments, who have imposed restrictions on the right to work and the rights of workers, and on the right to health care, education and housing, and have compromised peoples’ right to sovereignty and development. Also hypocritical are the lack of clear references – and of any reference, in some cases – to the systematic human rights violations by the United States at the illegal base of Guantánamo in Cuba, to the massacres of thousands of civilians by NATO in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Libya, to the occupation of Western Sahara and the violation of its people’s rights, or to the upholding of the blockade on Gaza."@en1
