Le respect des libertés fondamentales et des droits humains est une des valeurs clés de l’Union, que celle-ci promeut dans son action politique. Le prix Sakharov du Parlement européen distingue les travaux de ceux qui se battent pour ces libertés et ces droits. La paix et les droits humains sont de plus en plus menacés, ce qui confirme la pertinence actuelle du prix. Cette année, il a été décerné à Jina Mahsa Amini, qui est décédée, et au mouvement «Femme, vie, liberté» en Iran. La cérémonie de remise ...

L’Autorité nationale palestinienne (ou Autorité palestinienne) est l’organe directeur des régions autonomes palestiniennes de Cisjordanie et de la bande de Gaza.

EU relations with Iran

Briefing 31-01-2023

Even though the EU and Iran have worked together over the past 4 years to save the nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), relations between the two sides have reached a new low. The EU is concerned about the acceleration of Iran's nuclear programme in violation of the JCPOA and the country's reluctance to cooperate fully with the International Atomic Energy Agency. In addition, the Iranian authorities' violent crackdown on and execution of peaceful protesters has ...

Enhanced and more focused cooperation between the European Union (EU) and member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has become a priority for the EU, with a view to jointly addressing a series of global and regional challenges. Building on strong ties established over decades of a close trading and investment relationship, the EU is now seeking to put relations on a more secure footing, with new impetus and a much broader scope. A joint communication on a strategic partnership with the ...

En avril 2022, le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky a initialement demandé au Congrès des États-Unis et à la Maison-Blanche d’ajouter la Russie à la liste des États soutenant le terrorisme dressée par le département d’État. Depuis lors, il a élargi cette demande aux gouvernements du monde entier. La Chambre des représentants et le Sénat des États-Unis ont adopté des résolutions invitant le secrétaire d’État Antony Blinken à ajouter la Russie à cette liste, ce qu’il a refusé de faire jusqu’à ...

For the past two weeks, Iran has seen massive protests over the death in police custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, a Kurdish woman arrested for allegedly violating Iran's compulsory veiling laws. Protests have spread to more than 150 cities across Iran, including universities. The government has reacted violently to the protests, leading to at least 75 deaths and over a thousand arrests. Iranians are protesting not just against Amini's death, but also against an increasingly repressive regime that ...

Russia's war on Ukraine has now been going on for 6 months. Ukraine's citizens have paid the highest price to defend the country's independence. The EU and Western allies are supporting the country diplomatically, financially and militarily. In early September, the Ukrainian army liberated important areas of the country. The European Parliament will use its powers of oversight in the revived 'question time' during the September plenary session, to question the High Representative/Vice-President of ...

Nuclear weapons pose an existential threat to humanity. Russia's threat to use nuclear weapons in the context of its war on Ukraine has been a stark reminder that this threat is real. At present, nine states are known to have military nuclear programmes. Over recent years, tensions among nuclear-armed states have increased, leading to 'outright strategic rivalry and competition' among several of them. Moreover, experts are concerned that the 'fabric of international institutions, treaties, and norms ...

From 21 to 23 June 2022, the 61 States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will meet for the first time. Russia's threat to use nuclear weapons in the context of its war on Ukraine has given new relevance – and some will argue urgency – to the initiative launched a decade ago to prohibit nuclear weapons. The TPNW entered into force on 22 January 2021. On that day, nuclear weapons development, testing, production, possession, stockpiling, use and threat of use, as well ...
