Abstract

The challenging international geopolitical context and the primary framework of the European Union’s External Action (in its political, legal and institutional dimension) points to the emergence and development of the Global Strategy on Foreign and Security Policy, and the ambition of strategic autonomy as support for peace and a safer world. It is interesting to study, from a shared vision and common action, what the mandate of this Strategy is in order to deduce whether this operational and strategic perspective is being built and consolidated with legal parameters. That is, in a world order based on norms and multilateralism, are the measures of a regulatory environment of respect and promotion of human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law (Article 3.5 of the TEU) being adopted?
