"This report is part of a recurrent exercise in pure hypocrisy by the majority, dominated by the right and by social democrats, who claim the role of ‘ambassador’ for the defence of human rights. This is an exercise that is unmasking itself as it goes through the obvious contradictions that it contains, not least in making use of an alleged defending of human rights to promote intervention in countries where its own interests are at stake, whitewashing its allies and supporting them, particularly the United States.
Examples of this include the case of the so-called CIA flights and the complicity of many EU countries’ governments in the kidnapping, torture and illegal transfer of prisoners to Guantánamo Bay and the continued occupation of Afghanistan by NATO forces and the successive massacres of civilian populations under the pretext of combating terrorism. Further examples include the upholding of Israel’s policy of
over the people of Palestine and support for Morocco’s continued occupation of Western Sahara. and support for the illegal US blockade of Cuba, condemned by the United Nations General Assembly on 18 consecutive occasions. These policies, like the majorities promoting them, leave a bad taste in the mouth: the time is coming when the people will be able to reject them."@en1
