The EU welcomes the adoption of the resolution by the special session of the UN Human Rights Council on 29 April on the situation in Syria, including the sending by the UN Commissioner for Human Rights of a fact-finding mission to investigate all violations of international human rights and to establish facts.

The EU recalls the Resolution on the Situation of Human Rights in Cuba, adopted by the UN Commission on Human Rights on 15 April 2004, which “deplores the events which occurred last year in Cuba involving verdicts against certain political dissidents and journalists”, a reference to the trials and sentencing of 75 dissidents in March and April 2003.
