In the context of recent incidents in Azerbaijan as well as in Georgia and Armenia connected to the attacks on human rights activists, journalists and active members of civil society, we propose that the EU insists on the fulfilment of international human rights obligations by governments of EaP countries and that the EU (especially through its delegations and member state embassies in third countries) pays more attention to the implementation of the EU Guidelines on Human Rights Defenders.

We also appeal the EU to consider the introduction of appropriate sanctions in case of extensive and systematic human rights violations in these countries.
