In particular, it highlights the EU´s human rights priorities in terms of themes and vulnerable groups in its external action based on a review of EU policy documents and literature. In order to do so the report first identifies the instruments that set up the frame of the human rights and democracy policy.

These human rights priorities were set out in the EU Strategic Framework on Human Rights and Democracy, which distinguished two types of human rights priorities: 'vulnerable groups' and 'human rights themes.' These human rights priorities and the instruments for their implementation having been analysed, the main goal of this report is to assess whether those human rights themes and vulnerable groups are effectively and consistently reflected across the range of EU policies with particular relevance for the protection and promotion of human rights: development cooperation, trade, the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), the external dimension of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) and the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). Two main tasks have been addressed: (i) the identification of inconsistencies in the understanding and usage of 'vulnerable groups' and 'human rights themes' by the relevant EU policy documents issued in each step of the policy cycle, from formulation to implementation and evaluation and (ii) the identification of possible gaps in the selection of priorities by the EU, i.e. groups that should deserve special protection but are not prioritised in the context of the policy documents concerned.

“La gestión humana y eficiente de la migración: los hotspots-espacios de detención en las fronteras exteriores de la Unión Europea” en ABRISKETA, J., Políticas de asilo de la UE: Convergencias entre las dimensiones interna y externa, Pamplona,Thomson Reuters-Aranzadi, 2021, pp.39-67., 2021

Este proceso ha ido acompañado de una constante erosión de los derechos de los migrantes y los refugiados y solicitantes de asilo a entrar y establecerse en los países desarrollados. A partir de esta premisa de partida, el objetivo de este artículo es doble. Por un lado, pretende contribuir a explicar la creciente sofisticación e inhumanidad de la política europea, que conduce a espacios cada vez más reducidos en los que los migrantes pueden reclamar sus derechos y ser tratados con dignidad. Por otra parte, quiere exponer cómo en respuesta a lo que se plantea como una crisis por la llegada sin precedentes de refugiados y migrantes irregulares a partir de 2015 se desarrolla una política para una pretendida gestión «humana y eficiente » de la migración centrada en la protección de las fronteras exteriores. En particular queremos destacar como aludiendo a la excepcionalidad de la presión migratoria se han creado espacios de detención en las fronteras exteriores. Los hotspots ideados como una medida provisional para hacer frente a situaciones de emergencia humanitaria se han convertido en espacios de detención permanente donde se mantiene a los migrantes y solicitantes de asilo en condiciones que no cumplen las mínimas medidas de acogida sugeridas por el Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados (ACNUR) .

The contention is that humanitarian diplomacy is similar to other diplomatic practices. Starting by rethinking humanitarian diplomacy, it discusses the emergence of humanitarian border diplomacy as a key component of everyday migrant accompaniment. Humanitarian border diplomacy focuses on advancing migrants’ rights, seeking to make helpful, empowering and transformational interventions in an attempt to resist and change the contemporary global governance of migration. The article presents the everyday diplomatic practices of the Servicio Jesuita a Migrantes in Melilla, on Spain’s southern border, as an example of humanitarian border diplomacy. At the border, as an alternative space for resistance, differe...

Desde hace diecisiete anos, el Master, impartido por una red de siete universidades europeas, ha evolucionado conforme se le ha venido exigiendo, tanto por los propios cambios del Espacio Europeo de Educacion Superior, como por las transformaciones de la sociedad internacional y las necesidades de los organismos internacionales y los actores humanitarios, hasta convertirse en un Master Europeo Conjunto Erasmus Mundus de reconocimiento internacional. La finalidad de este articulo es presentar el Master Europeo Conjunto en Accion Internacional Humanitaria y describir la dinamica y la evolucion por la que ha transitado durante sus casi dos decadas de existencia. Es un master novedoso tanto por su contenido y programa como por su organizacion, –apoyada en una red de universidades europeas–, que se imparte por primera vez ...

The convergence of global trends such as climate change, migration and population growth, urbanization, growing inequalities and resource scarcity together with the inability to resolve intractable conflicts and protracted crises are exacerbating people’s vulnerability. The humanitarian system needs to adapt to a changing humanitarian context and make humanitarian action more effective and inclusive to respond to the needs of people in crises. However, shifting the focus to managing risk and prevention will require the full extent of political will, capacity, and resources of donor governments and affected States.

It starts with a summary of the current context of peacebuilding and the main trends and factors that challenge and constrain international action in this area and the evolution of the concept of peacebuilding and the its main criticisms, in order to demonstrate the need to rethink the way it is done. Then the paper discusses to what extent there is a strategy of peace building in the EU and if it is aimed at building a more peaceful and humane international society.
