Third Annual Review on Human Rights in EU-Israel Relations

The present report is the third in a series meant to assess the European Union’s (EU) relations to Israel in terms of human rights.
The current project was outlined during meetings of the Working Group in the course of 2006 during which it was decided that the review should focus on the human rights situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories in relation to the EU-Israel agreements, in particular the Action Plan under the European Neighbourhood Policy. In this way it is meant to bring added
value to current human rights work done in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories by serving as a human rights guide to evaluate EU relations with Israel.
The human rights review may also be used proactively as a means to build capacity in understanding EU Human Rights mechanisms, sharing information, and as a means of advocacy.
Susan Rockwell and Charles Shamas of the MATTIN Group are the co-authors of the draft text.
The review is based on research, case studies and interviews with European Union officials. The time frame of the review is October 2005 to December 2006
