| Summary / Abstract (Note) | How do we explain under which conditions the EU is likely intervene in one crisis situation and not in another? To what extent have human rights considerations been factored into these operations thus far? This article seeks to answers these questions and describes the decision-making process with respect to EU involvement in crisis management operations and the instruments at the disposal of the EU, with a particular focus on human rights policy. An overview and analysis of current and past civilian and military crisis management operations points to three factors that help to explain EU involvement in crisis situations, namely: norms, interests and institutions. It concludes with suggestions to better integrate human rights into future operations.This article is written in a personal capacity and does not reflect EU positions. |
