"The European Union cannot sit helplessly by when confronted with the violations of human rights and political freedoms occurring in countries in which democracy has recently been established. The Union promotes respect for fundamental rights and democracy throughout the world, and is legally bound to respect them by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Consequently, it must take action in order to ensure that the protection of these rights is a priority within the activities of the United Nations and accordingly provide its full support to actions carried out within that context. I am pleased with the work of the United Nations Human Rights Council and hope that its next meeting will be concluded with further progress on this score. I hope, above all, that the obstacle created within the Security Council regarding the situation in Syria will quickly be overcome. Unacceptable violations of human rights are ongoing and the international community cannot remain silent. Thousands of prisoners are suffering torture and sexual violence every day, including around 400 children. We cannot permit such violence to occur or to be repeated."@en1
