objectives

Established upon the
initiative of the European Parliament in 1994,the main
aim of the European initiative for democracy and human
rights (EIDHR) is to promote human rights,democracy
and conflict prevention in third countries 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.
—Fighting 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 of the action plan produced by the UN World Conference
against Racismin 2001),and (ii)discrimination against
