English term or phrase: Saint Petersburg missions
the petitioner denounces the persecutions of Christians by groups of terrorists and religious fundamentalists in a number of countries, particularly Nigeria, often accompanied by massacres of civilians.◊ ◊He denounces the indifference of the international community and the impunity of these crimes.
The petitioner asks Parliament to promote his petition in order to establish a political strategy to put an end to these abuses, in Nigeria in particular, citing the Saint Petersburg missions in the context of the ESDP.

Also - what is "ESDP" here?

Explanation:
My searches also revealed the discrepancy between St Petersburg and Petersberg.

This reference seems to point to Petersberg, as Vera already noted:

saint petersburg missions
Petersberg-Aufgaben


Explanation:
Es handelt sich wohl im Zusammen mit "ESDP" (The Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), formerly known as the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP)) um die Petersburg-Aufgaben.

Auszug aus dem Wikipedia-Artikel:
Die Petersberg-Aufgaben wurden 1992 beim Gipfel des Ministerrats der Westeuropäischen Union (WEU) festgelegt. Sie sollten zunächst von der Verteidigungskomponente der WEU durchgeführt werden und umfassten

humanitäre Aufgaben,
Rettungseinsätze,
friedenserhaltende Aufgaben sowie
Kampfeinsätze bei der Krisenbewältigung einschließlich friedensschaffender Maßnahmen (Vertrag von Amsterdam, Art. J.7, Ziff. 2).

Typo: Petersberg-Aufgaben, nicht Petersburg (die Verwechslung liegt schon sehr nahe!)

agree  Danik 2014: Scheint den Inhalt nach zu stimmen, aber die Frage zitert "Saint Petersburg" und dein Link das Petersberg-Hotel in Deutschland?!

  -> Es geht um den gefragten Begriff im Kontext mit ESDP. Natürlich müsste das mit d. Kunden geklärt werden, aber ich vermute, dass hier eine Verwechslung der Begriffe vorliegt. (Links von Wikipedia??)

agree  Horst Huber (X): The Petersberg Declaration is dated Bonn, 19 June 1992. "Tasks" includes "missions" so these terms need to be distinguished. "Petersberg" relates to the topography of Bonn, and this is not the first time it became part of political discourse.
