"Human rights and fundamental freedoms are the body of values and principles that mark us out as human and the basis of our coexistence; they are universal, indivisible and interdependent. The entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon undoubtedly represented an important step in human rights terms and included the possibility of creating a European Union Special Representative (EUSR) for Human Rights. On countless occasions, Parliament has called for the appointment of this EUSR, so as to promote visibility, effectiveness, consistency and accountability in EU human rights policy. I welcome the plan for the Foreign Affairs Council to appoint the EUSR on 25 June this year, as well as the role enshrined for Parliament in relation to appointing him/her and supervising his/her mandate. The mandate will be for two and a half years and may be renewed so as to ensure continuity, consistency and democratic accountability. Although under the authority of the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, he/she should nevertheless have an independent, strong and flexible mandate, in the performance of which he/she should act and speak on behalf of the EU, reflecting the shared and indivisible responsibility of all EU institutions and Member States to protect and promote democracy and human rights worldwide."@en1
