Opis

The EU includes human rights conditionality clauses in its international trade and cooperation agreements, the purpose of which is to entitle either party to take appropriate measures if the other fails to comply with human rights or democratic principles. This book analyses the construction of these clauses, their operation, and questions the extent to which the EU has the legislative power to include such clauses in its agreements.

Recenzje

Our conclusion is that the reading of this book is essential and will be certainly stimulating for anyone interested in the Human Rights Policy of the European Union and more generally in its external action...This contribution will undoubtedly inspire further reflections on the topic and will become a necessary point of reference.
