First Evaluation of the EU Human Rights Defenders Guidelines
Friday 2 June 2006 by FIDH , World Organisation Against Torture
First Evaluation of the EU HRD Guidelines - The Observatory
and OMCT
Both FIDH and OMCT, through the Observatory or through their daily activities, seek to use the EU Guidelines on Human Rights Defenders (hereafter “the Guidelines”), sensitise their local partners on their existence, and interact with the European Union delegations or headquarters in order to promote the full use of the Guidelines.
Thus, the Observatory has systematically transmitted relevant information to the EU as regards the situation of Human Rights Defenders at risk and regularly calls on the EU to make the issue of Human Rights Defenders and freedom of assembly an integral part of its external relations.
In order to feed into this evaluation, FIDH and OMCT have requested contributions from their partners in the field, in submitting to them the questionnaire prepared by the EU Presidency, as well as a number of additional questions. They have also analysed the impact of their activities in Brussels or through their interaction at the local level with EU delegations and Member States’ embassies.
