The European Union holds the Human Rights at a verz high positon in its priorities and their respect as one of its main values and pillars of progress and evolution.
There are two main directions regarding the human rights policy and action within the European Union. One is to protect the fundamental human rights for EU citizens, and the other is to promote human rights worldwide.
EU policy includes:
👉promoting the rights of women, children, minorities and displaced persons
👉opposing the death penalty, torture, human trafficking and discrimination
👉defending civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights
👉defending human rights through active partnership with partner countries, international and regional organisations, and groups and associations at all levels of society
👉inclusion of human rights clauses in all agreements on trade or cooperation with non-EU countries
