Amnesty International statement

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL EU OFFICE

As the European Commission and the President of Algeria Abdelaziz Bouteflika prepare to initial an EU-Algeria Association Agreement in Brussels tomorrow (Wednesday 19 December), Amnesty International says the fact this event is going ahead shows the EU’s human rights clause is now clearly not worth the paper it is written on.

As Justice and Home Affairs Ministers begin their last Council meeting tomorrow before the Laeken EU summit, Amnesty International has issued a final plea to ensure that security is not achieved at the expense of the human rights the EU seeks to safeguard.
