All errors of course remain the authors’ own. The authors are equally thankful to the European Union, the Council of Europe, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, EU Member States and third states officials and other human rights scholars and practitioners who agreed to share their expertise with a view to this report. The authors would like to thanks Ms. Iwona Grenda and Dr. Stuart Wallace for their invaluable assistance in editing the report. i FRAME Deliverable No. 5.2 Executive Summary This deliverable of Work Package 5 presents the outcome of the analysis and critical assessment of EU human rights engagement with other European regional organisations. Cooperation between the European Union and the Council of Europe has become more systematic, in particular in the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2007. This document inter alia identifies shared priorities and focal areas of cooperation among which are listed human rights and fundamental freedoms; rule of law and legal co-operation; democracy and good governance; democratic stability; intercultural dialogue and cultural diversity; education, youth and promotion of human contacts; and social cohesion. In the light of the Lisbon Treaty, including the new legal status of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the commitment to ratify the European Convention on Human Rights, cooperation between the EU and the system of human rights protection established within the CoE should be significantly enhanced. However, the road leading up to the accession to the European Convention may be more difficult than expected as has been indicated by the Opinion 2/13 of the CJEU on the Draft Accession Agreement, adopted on 18 December 2014. In the case of the OSCE, although the role of the EU has never been formally defined in details, the EU participation in the work of OSCE bodies has been recognized by the established practice and formalised by the Rules of Procedure of the organisation adopted in 2006. The EU attaches particular importance to co-operation with the OSCE on security-related matters and conflict prevention in Europe. The report consists of four chapters. The first chapter presents the aims of the report as well as methodology of the research. It also explains the basic conceptual framework of the deliverable. The second chapter is devoted to the cooperation of the European Union with the Council of Europe. In particular, the authors of the report analyse the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Union and the Council of Europe, EU’s policy documents and the issue of the rapprochement of the human rights protection systems of these two organisations. It also tackles the issue of common human rights standards. The third chapter presents the issue of the European Union’s cooperation with the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe. It explains the position of the EU vis-à-vis the OSCE and it presents the EU’s substantive human rights goals and objectives. The authors of the report have also analysed the issue of common human rights standards and the EU’s engagement in and support for the OSCE human rights activities. The report is supplemented by four case studies related to: 1. The role of Venice Commission ’Democracy through Law‘ and its cooperation with the European Union; 2. The legal influence of the ECHR on the EU in case of the right to an effective remedy and right to fair trial; 3. Joint Programme – Peer to Peer II, and 4. The EU’s external human rights policy in view of crisis at the EU’s doorstep: towards a gradual division of labour between EU-OSCE in Ukraine. The fourth and final chapter presents the conclusions of the research. The report seeks not only to advance existing scholarship on the topic, but also to create a broad knowledge base for future research. ii FRAME Deliverable No. 5.2 List of abbreviations AL Arab League AMU Adam Mickiewicz University AP Action Plan APT Association for the Prevention of Torture Art.

  • 50 YEARS of EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT HISTORY and Subjugated
    European Parliament – 50th birthday QA-70-07-089-EN-C series 1958–2008 Th ere is hardly a political system in the modern world that does not have a parliamentary assembly in its institutional ‘toolkit’. Even autocratic or totalitarian BUILDING PARLIAMENT: systems have found a way of creating the illusion of popular expression, albeit tamed 50 YEARS OF EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT HISTORY and subjugated. Th e parliamentary institution is not in itself a suffi cient condition for granting a democratic licence. Yet the existence of a parliament is a necessary condition of what 1958–2008 we have defi ned since the English, American and French Revolutions as ‘democracy’. Since the start of European integration, the history of the European Parliament has fallen between these two extremes. Europe was not initially created with democracy in mind. Yet Europe today is realistic only if it espouses the canons of democracy. In other words, political realism in our era means building a new utopia, that of a supranational or post-national democracy, while for two centuries the DNA of democracy has been its realisation within the nation-state.

  • Free Trade Awry? on the Export of 'Double Genocide' Revisionism
    DRAFT OF DOVID KATZ’S PAPER “Free Trade Awry? On the Export of ‘Double Genocide’ Revisionism” that appeared in the 2017 volume MEDIEVALES 63: De Christine de Pizan à Hans Robert Jauss Etudes offertes à Earl Jeffrey Richards par ses collègues et amis à l’occasion de son soixante- cinquième anniversaire Textes recueillis par Danielle Buschinger et Roy Rosenstein Presses du “Centre d’Études Médiévales de Picardie” Amiens 2017 413 Free Trade Awry? On the Export of ‘Double Genocide’ Revisionism DOVID KATZ (Vilnius Gediminas Technical University) PREAMBLE The fall of the Iron Curtain swiftly enabled free trade in goods and services between the nation states of Eastern Europe freed from Soviet domination with the West and much of the rest of the world. No less important was a new flow of ideas, generally on a west-to-east trajectory, including organizing principles for political processes and governments, education, media, the arts, and more, in short, models for societal structure and governance. Western mores and institutions readily took root in those nations with substantial anti-Soviet and often anti-Russian sentiments, both among the former Warsaw Pact nations, such as Poland and Hungary, and in some former Soviet republics, principally the three Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. One common denominator was a legacy, strong by virtue of personal memory and convincingly conveyed immediate family legacy, of the facts of generally successful independent statehood in the interwar period. By contrast, new states such as Belarus and Ukraine had eastern “halves” that had been part of the Soviet Union from around the time of the Russian Revolution.

  • Schengen Reloaded by Raoul Ueberecken Schengen Reloaded by Raoul Ueberecken
    November 2019 Schengen reloaded By Raoul Ueberecken Schengen reloaded By Raoul Ueberecken The Schengen borderless area remains one of the EU’s most popular achievements. Though EU politicians may suggest otherwise, it does not need a complete overhaul; but it would benefit from being updated. Schengen works because its benefits and burdens are shared; because there is a high degree of mutual trust among its members; and because the original Schengen regime has been subsumed in the much broader EU area of freedom, security and justice, which is based on the same principles. In recent years, the area of freedom, security and justice has come under strain; the benefits and burdens have sometimes seemed to be unequally shared, and mutual trust has been eroding. Implementation is a genuine challenge for member-states: they do not all have the same administrative capacity or resources. But if member-states cannot trust each other to carry out their obligations, Schengen will not be able to function. The EU needs a peer review system to evaluate compliance with obligations, ensuring that all member- states are tested against the same benchmarks, regularly and objectively. Where there are shortcomings, the EU should provide financial, technical and legal support to those member-states that need it. The EU can also help to improve co-operation between law enforcement agencies in member-states. EU bodies like Europol enable national agencies to work together more effectively than they could in the past; but rules on cross-border police co-operation need to be modernised. The interoperability of law-enforcement and migration databases was a priority for the outgoing Commission, but is still a long way from being achieved.

  • Options for the German EU Presidency ANDREAS MAURER
    Per27sta3 10.4.2007 8:34 Stránka 100 (Black plát) 100 ▲ 116 Managing Expectations and Hidden Demands: Options for the German EU Presidency ANDREAS MAURER Abstract: The “pause for thought” decreed by the heads of state and the government (after the voters in France and the Netherlands rejected the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe) has been extended for at least another year. The European Council meeting held on the 15th and 16th of June 2006 did little more than sketch out the way forward for the period 2006–2008. By the end of 2008, decisions should be made about how to continue the reform process. Before anyone can agree on how to move forward, all 27 European Union member states would have to state clearly what goals they are pursuing in the process of institutional reform (a process which all sides agree is necessary) and what steps they believe are required for achieving these goals. In this context, clear statements on the importance of the Treaty and its fate are needed. It is unlikely that Consensus on these issues be achieved among all 27 member states. Regardless, in order to allow a constructive discussion to take place, the 27 member states would have to agree on a shared criteria for assessing the reform proposals, that are on the table and on the options for resolving the “constitutional crisis.” Key words: EU presidency, EU institutional reform, EU constitutional treaty, German EU policy The pause for thought on the future of the EU was officially prolonged at the European Council meeting on the 15th and 16th of June 2006.1 According to the Conclusions of the European Council, in the first semester 2007, the German EU-Presidency will present a report on the discussions with regard to the Constitutional Treaty and will explore possible future developments.
