Established upon the initiative of the European Parliament
in 1994,the main aim of the European Initiative for
Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) is t promote human
rights,democracy and conflict prevention in third countries
(outside of the European Union) by providing financial
support for activities supporting these goals.A report
on projects funded by the EIDHR between 1996 and 1999
is available at: http://europa.eu.int/comm/europeaid/projects/ddh/documents_en.htm
In May 2001,the
Commission adopted a policy statement,or Communication
,on the EU's role in promoting human rights and democratisation
in third countries.The Commission has identified themes,
which will be subject of four calls for proposals in
2002:
- support for the abolition of the death penalty;
- (i)the prevention of torture and (ii)the provision
of support for the rehabilitation of torture victims;
- combating impunity and promoting International Justice
in particular through support for the work of the international
tribunals and the establishment and operation of an
international criminal court;
- (i)Combating racism and xenophobia (by implementing
parts f the Action Plan produced by the UN World Conference
against Racism in 2001 and (ii)discrimination against

notice concerns the call for proposals covering the
prevention of torture and the provisions of support
for the rehabilitation of torture victims;EIDHR is based
