Guide to Human Rights in the Barcelona Process Today, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) publishes a Guide to Human Rights in the Barcelona Process (French version). The guide is addressed to members and coordinators of networks and movements, who work for the promotion and protection of human rights in within the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and for active participation of civil society in its development. The ambition of the guide is to explain ‘who is doing what and how’ within the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. It describes the procedures and the institutions within the Partnership like the European Council, the Council of th European Union, the European Commission and the European Parliament. Two other chapters deal with the structure and the functioning of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and the financing of human rights and democracy projects. Finally, the Guide contains a section with contact addresses and key documents of the Partnership. The guide is part of the EMHRN’s programme of activity and is the result of an extensive research carried out by its two authors Khémais Chammari and Caroline Stainier. The EMHRN is a regional network established upon the initiative of northern and southern human rights organisations in response to the Barcelona Declaration and the establishment of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership. Today, it has fifty members representing human rights organisations and institutions, as well as individuals, from more than twenty countries in the region. Its overall objective is to contribute to the protection and promotion of human rights principles embodied in the Barcelona Declaration and thus to the promotion of peace, stability and the dignity and worth of the human person in the Euro-Mediterranean region. Khémais Chammari and Caroline Stainier are experts on the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and the European institutions and are known for their commitment to the human rights movement. The Guide is published with the support of the European Commission. English and Arabic versions are forthcoming. Guide sur les sur les droits de l’Homme dans le Processus de Barcelone. 224 p.
