Annual Report on Human Rights 2006 - EU
[extract on human rights defenders]
In the first half of 2006, the implementation of the EU Guidelines on Human Rights Defenders was the subject of a thorough review. The summary analysis and recommendations which the Council approved in June 2006 were based on contributions from Member States, the Commission, replies from EU Heads of Mission in 79 countries, and an exchange of views with international NGOs, in particular Amnesty International, Peace Brigades International and the Observatory for the protection of Human Rights Defenders. The recommendations focus on the issues of awareness raising and training of EU actors, increasing external publicity of the Guidelines and EU efforts to implement them, strengthening coordination and sharing of information by EU Missions, and effective support and protection of human rights defenders.
