The training course for human rights officers was conceived to meet the needs of the European Union and other International and Regional organisations involved in protecting human rights. With the entry into force of the Maastricht Treaty in November 1993, the European Union marked a new phase of its policy on human rights and democracy. Promoting human rights and democratisation has become one of the main objective of the European Union. | |
