03/10/2017 – Letter to HRVP Mogherini calling on her to take action for human rights in Myanmar.

The EU must urgently step up its support for human rights and those of us who defend them in the region

The EU’s failure to speak out on Beijing’s rights violations is a body blow to independent activists across China and a betrayal of the EU’s proclaimed human rights commitments

The EU must show its support for all of those human rights defenders, lawyers and others who peacefully exercise their rights in China

24/05/2017 – Our organisations have documented and advocated solution to human rights violations in China for decades. We write ahead of the June 2, 2017 European Union (EU)-China Summit in Brussels to urge you to use that occasion to lead the EU and its member states in demonstrating unified and unambiguous commitment to promoting human rights in China.

We will be out in force to send a clear message that we reject his policies of hatred and fear.

15/05/2017 – Ahead of the visit of the President of the United States (USA) Donald Trump on May 24, we urge you to maintain a strong and principled stance in response to recent developments in the USA, and use the opportunity of your forthcoming meeting to raise several urgent and also long-standing human rights concerns.

27/06/2016 – On 7 June 2016, the European Commission published a Communication, calling for the establishment of migration “compacts” between the EU and a range of countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
