"Human rights are indivisible values enshrined in the EU’s founding Treaties. Therefore, EU policy, both internal and external, should take their pursuit into account. They should be applied uniformly, thereby demonstrating the role of the EU as an example of respecting and safeguarding human rights. There are still failings, naturally, but the EU and the Member States should use these to work on reformulating their policies and strategies. This report tackles a number of key issues; specifically, EU policy action in the context of the UN and the International Criminal Court, policies to support democratisation, and the EU’s financial support instruments. I should like to stress the need for cross-cutting inclusion of this matter in the EU’s various policy areas. We have also witnessed the shortcomings of the EU’s approach to external policy. Finally, I consider it extremely important that we continue supporting democratisation and development. The various programmes being implemented need more technical, financial and political support. We cannot provide third countries with the proper aid if funding is scarce. This is an issue of unparalleled importance that enables the public’s quality of life to be developed and increased and in relation to which annual reports must use transparent criteria."@en1
