The HRBA methodology applies to all EU external actions, in whatever sector or whatever country. The HRBA guides all interventions under the NDICI – Global Europe, this includes blending proposals and guarantees. Through the application of the HRBA, our interventions will deliver more relevant and sustainable results.
The human rights based approach looks at: The objectives: All interventions, policies and technical assistance should advance the realisation of human rights, including women’s rights and labour rights. No matter the sector, country or stakeholder involved, the HRBA targets the respect, protection and fulfilment of human rights for women and men, girls and boys, in all their diversity. The processes: While the HRBA builds on the human rights standards and principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), it ensures that all processes used in programming, designing and implementing EU external action, promote fundamental human rights and freedoms. the HRBA applies the five working principles: a) applying all human rights for all; b) meaningful and inclusive participation and access to decision-making; c) non-discrimination and equality; d) accountability and rule of law for all; and d) transparency and access to information supported by disaggregated data. The outcomes: The outcomes of interventions should contribute to the development of the capabilities of ‘duty-bearers’ to meet their obligations and/or of ‘rights-holders’ to know, claim and enjoy their human rights. |
When can it be used?
The HRBA places equal importance on the processes of how interventions are programmed, designed and implemented and the objectives. This includes blending operations and guarantees. While strengthening national ownership and meaningful participation, the HRBA equally address the purposes, and outcomes of EU external actions.
