Stance Тибета EU slam групп прав человека излишек
Четверг 19-ое марта 2008
EUOBSERVER/BRUSSELS - вахта международных амнистии групп прав человека и прав человека хлопал stance европейского соединения над Тибетом, вызывая реакцию «тепловато» и требуя очень более робастному давлению на Китае от блка европейца 27 наций. «Еще раз, это будет испытание для европейского соединения, которое потребности решить идет ли оно быть серьезным игроком или как раз сидеть на sidelines,» директор Южной Азии вахты прав человека', Брэд Adams, сказали EUobserver. «Пока был расправа на обеих сторонах, предельная ответственность лежит с Китаем. Они создали условия для unrest.» «Вы можете увидеть разницу между как они dealing with Китай и как они общались с Бирмой, когда был подобный crackdown,» он сказали, refer to штурм осени 2007 бирманским военной хунтой на диссидентах высок-профиля и буддийских monks в которых тысячи protesters были округлены вверх и неизвестные убитые номера. At the time, EU запретил ввозы gemstones, тимберса и металла от страны. «EU не должен как раз принять сильное действие in response to нарушения прав человека малых положений, но также сильные положения, как Китай,» сказали гу-н Adams. Между тем, международная амнистии вторила их служакам прав человека собрата. «Мы видели очень слабое заявление от совета,» сказал Susi Dennison, офицер внешних отношений группы на своем офисе Brussels, в интервью с EUobserver. «И заявление президентства EU call on потребности Китая уважать международные демократические принципы, но Китая фактическ пойти более далее и придержаться к своим международным юридическим обязательствам, such as международный пакт на гражданских и политических правах и конвенция ООН против пытки.» «EU нужно нажимать для китайского правительства для того чтобы определить задержанных граждан в частности, и в run-up к Олимпиадам, пока мир наблюдает, им нужно на минимуме отжать Китай жить до принятий окончательного решения прав человека которые он сделал впереди выигрывать игры.» “Specifically, Amnesty is calling on the EU to push for China to allow an independent investigation, letting in international observers.” Mirroring Amnesty’s demands, the Human Rights Watch official said: “We’ve called for China to let in the UN to conduct an independent probe into alleged abuses, and we’d like the EU to echo that call.” European Parliament president opens door to boycott Italian President Giorgio Napolitano said that the EU should put forward a common denunciation of the events in Tibet. “What is happening is deeply worrying, and there are no doubts that what we have said so far will be reiterated more vigorously.” Meanwhile, the country’s foreign ministry summoned the Chinese ambassador to Rome for talks on the unrest. French Socialist leader Francois Hollande said Monday (17 March) that his country should consider boycotting the games, while France’s foreign minister said he was considering boycotting the opening ceremonies. But the EU collectively has been ineffective, said Ms Dennison, while other member states have hidden behind the EU statements. “When the EU speaks with one voice, it is at its most powerful. Unfortunately, this is similar to our criticisms we had of the EU over Darfur. “The EU has the ability to speak with one voice, but too often, it doesn’t use it.” Hans-Gert Poettering, the centre-right president of the European Parliament, who, speaking on German public radio on Tuesday (18 March), said that politicians should reconsider attending the opening of the Beijing Olympic games if the attacks from Chinese authorities continue. “One has to say to the Chinese: if the repression continues like this, it will cause political leaders who plan to attend the opening of the Olympic Games, as I plan to, to consider whether such a trip is a responsible move,” President Poettering told Deutschlandfunk radio. He also said he did not rule out a wider boycott of the games. “We must send a signal to Beijing,” he added. Mr Poettering’s words are a departure from the president’s initial comments on the topic, who the day before had repeated the other European institutions’ call for both sides to show restraint, adding that he hoped that the upcoming Olympic Games in Beijing would be a success. Christina Gallach, spokesperson for EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, responding to the complaints from human rights groups about double standards regarding Burma and China, said: “The relations between the EU and China are totally different from those between the EU and Burma.” “The EU has bilateral agreements with China and various human rights dialogues with the country. Our relationship with China goes back 30 years.” “Whereas we have expanded sanctions on the Burmese junta. There is no comparison with Burma.” She also said that it is not foreseen that the EU will have a special envoy for Tibet, as they do with Burma, a key demand of Tibetan protesters. ‘Classic Chinese lock-down on information’ “The EU should immediately press the Chinese authorities to open the door to scrutiny by the international media,” said Aidan White, general-secretary of the International Federation of Journalists. “What we’re witnessing is a classic Chinese lock-down on information, a cordon sanitaire to stop journalists reporting and the world from knowing what’s going on.” France-based Reporters Sans Frontieres on Tuesday urged political officials to boycott the 8 August Olympic opening ceremony. “China has not kept any of the promises it made in 2001 when it was chosen to host these Olympics,” the press freedom organisation said. “Instead, the government is crushing the Tibetan protests and is imposing a news blackout.” The Peoples’ Republic of China say that demonstrators have killed 13 civilians in protests in recent days, while exiled Tibetan leaders in India say some 100 people may have been killed by the Chinese authorities. ? 2008 EUobserver, All rights reserved Have Your Say: Human rights groups slam EU over Tibet stance Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
