Rarely does the foreign policy on human rights of a democratic country reach all dictatorships, since economic interests prevail, i.e. priority is given to exporting products and attracting foreign investment. This is one of the reasons why parliamentary diplomacy is needed. The Parliament is a power independent of the Executive and for this reason its members, elected by popular vote, have the political capacity to carry out activities that governments cannot, especially in developing democracies.
