Abstract

With the adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon, the mainstreaming of human rights reached a new dimension in EU external action. The promotion and protection of human rights through the European Union Crisis Management Operations present important operational difficulties that could undermine EU credibility and its mission’s effectiveness. This article seeks to frame the challenges that arise in legal and practical terms from the applicable human rights and humanitarian law to EU crisis management missions.
