Governments that respect human rights are more peaceful and more prosperous. They are better neighbours, stronger allies, and better economic partners. Governments that enforce safe workplaces, prohibit exploitative child and forced labour, and educate their citizens create a more level playing field and broader customer base for the global marketplace. Conversely, governments that threaten regional and global peace, from Iran to North Korea, are also egregious human rights abusers, with citizens trapped in the grip of domestic repression, economic deprivation, and international isolation.” US Secretary of State, John Kerry http://electionswatch.org/2013/04/16/osce-eu-a-relationship-that-needs-to-be-fine-tuned/ http://electionswatch.org/2013/04/16/osce-eu-a-relationship-that-needs-to-be-fine-tuned/#comments Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:45:23 +0000 Editor http://electionswatch.org/?p=1368 More…]]> http://electionswatch.org/2013/04/16/osce-eu-a-relationship-that-needs-to-be-fine-tuned/feed/ 0 linksdar The President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy (r) greets OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier during the latter’s official visit to the EU, Brussels, 10 April 2013.
