Publications - Press Statements : AFET and DROI chairs condemn the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict - Subcommittee on Human Rights

ven, 21/04/2017 - 12:58
AFET and DROI chairs condemn the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict and call for an immediate restarting of negotiations.

"The use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict must be considered as an extremely concerning act. In view of the very recent developments, we call for the need to urgently bring all the involved parts back to the negotiation table, in order to find a political solution for the Syrian conflict, which has already caused thousands causalities and refugees. The immediate recovery of the negotiations is vital if we want to avoid that the current situation turns into a spiral of violence, with uncontrollable effects and if we want to avoid that this conflict degenerates into a large-scale armed conflict."

jeu, 20/04/2017 - 16:41
The Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Committee on International Trade will hold a joint hearing on 'Business and human rights in EU External Policies: due diligence, non-financial reporting and access to remedies'
Human rights has become a topic of importance for the European Union in relation to trade and is ever more present when the EU is negotiating new agreements with third countries. Notwithstanding the positive achievements realized to date there are still several challenges ahead if we are to fully integrate the human rights perspective into the business dimension. The joint hearing is divided into three panels: the first panel on Corporate Social Responsibility and global value chains, the second will analyse the implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and access to remedies, while the third will focus on the UN intergovernmental working group on a legally binding instrument on transnational corporations.

One in every three girls in developing countries is married before turning 18, and one in nine before 15. Child marriages limit future prospects as children are usually forced to drop out of school. Girls also face dangerous complications from pregnancy and childbirth, the leading causes of death among adolescent girls in developing countries.

Study - Shrinking space for civil society: the EU response - PE 578.039 - Subcommittee on Human Rights

mer, 12/04/2017 - 00:00
The EU has developed an impressive range of policy tools for pushing back against restrictions on civil society across the world. It has gradually improved the way it deploys these instruments and has helped protect many activists at risk. Notwithstanding this, the EU needs to sharpen its ‘shrinking space’ strategy. This study suggests a range of precise policy changes it should contemplate to this end. It advocates a number of strategic guidelines that could help make the EU’s responses more proactive; better able to tackle the broad structural elements of the shrinking space; fully balanced between political and development approaches; and geared towards building more inclusive alliances against new restrictions on civil society.
