"Human rights constitute an issue fundamental to the European Union
which should govern its foreign policy, whilst respecting the domestic and foreign policy of the Member States themselves. EU relations with third countries should incorporate these values by means of example and their global influence. Where they have been violated, the EU should, together with international organisations and countries, demand that they be returned to and safeguarded. The 19th session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), the specialised agency for debating these issues, should extol the safeguarding of fundamental human rights through protection and respect for them across the world. I consider it extremely important that the EU continue to give the UNHRC financial and technical support, in addition to the contributions from the Member States themselves. There are many cases of human rights violations that we could analyse: from Sudan to Somalia; the countries of the Arab Spring; and even European countries, where serious violations of freedom of expression and sexual freedom are reported. However, I believe it is our duty to stand shoulder-to-shoulder internationally against any form of attack on human dignity."@en1
