Social Platform position: An EU Internal Strategy to Promote Human Rights
Social Platform proposes a five year Strategy to integrate human rights instruments and EU Charter of Fundamental Rights obligations in all EU competences (whether exclusive, shared, supportive or coordinating), to be used to implement each of the human rights ratified by the EU. This strategy should be accompanied by an Action Plan with concrete actions on how the EU will deliver on identified human rights, specifying who will ultimately be responsible for their implementation and monitoring.
Key Messages
- In all areas of competence, enact legislation and policies that ensure effective realisation of human rights across the EU, including social rights.
- Identify and utilise EU competencies to maximum effect.
- Support member states in preventing human rights violations, monitor compliance and issue sanctions when necessary.
