lpv:translated text	"Madam President, promoting human rights is one of the tasks that we undertake when we become Members of the European Parliament. In our political cooperation with many countries, we often come up against problems involving breaches of these rights and this appears in various different guises. The situation takes on a special significance in relations with our nearest neighbours, which are frequently countries with European aspirations. Our overriding objective should be to move in the direction of ensuring civil rights in countries that have direct links with the European Union. A leading example of this is Belarus, which, for many years, has been governed by an authoritarian regime that brutally suppresses political opposition. We also see treatment of citizens that is contrary to international norms and standards in many other post-Soviet countries. Generally, these are the remains of a bygone era. There are also examples of abuses of power by democratically elected authorities. It is the responsibility of European diplomacy to act efficiently and effectively to improve political standards in countries where there is a common sphere of interest. The appointment of a special representative may simplify this work. However, such a person must work closely with the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and under the control of the European Parliament. This is an important condition in order to ensure a cohesive foreign policy. Finally, I would like to point out that human rights must be promoted throughout the world in a way that respects the right to live in a traditional family and protects the values in which people believe. It is equally important to combat instances of violence against women and girls and this also applies in situations where such violence is carried out on the basis of mistaken religious beliefs preached by certain faiths."@en1
