  1. The \u201cEU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy for 2020\u20132024\u201d presented by the European Commission and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policyconstitutes a document of strategic importance for the European Union\u2019s external actions<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The proposed procedure for adopting the abovementioned Action Plan raises special doubts. As a result, the Council of the European Union will be allowed to take positions and carry out actions in the scope of human rights and democracy on the international arena under a qualified majority<\/b>voting procedure.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The \u201cEU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy for 2020\u20132024\u201d includes ideas connected with \u201cgender\u201d ideology in combating gender-based violence and so-called reproductive and sexual health and rights<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. At the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo (1994), States did not agree to the use of the \u201creproductive and sexual health and rights\u201d concept, whose definition is unclear. The category of \u201csexual rights\u201d was intentionally excluded from this term as being too ideological. Hence, in the international official discourse, it is acceptable to use the category of \u201creproductive rights\u201d and \u201creproductive and sexual health\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Within the so-called \u201csexual and reproductive health and rights\u201d, the European Parliament has repeatedly indicated that women have the \u201cright to abortion\u201d and lack of access to prenatal killing is to be a \u201cform of violence against women\u201d. At the same time, under international law, there is no such notion as the \u201cright to abortion\u201d. At the Conference in Cairo, it was stated that abortion may not be promoted as one of methods of family planning and states are obliged to reduce the number of abortions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Past experience proves that at the UN, the European Union took positions from which some states \u2014 including Poland and Hungary \u2014 broke away. The positions on which there was no consensus concerned frequently controversial issues covered by the Action Plan such as sex education and reproductive rights.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. The adoption by the European Commission of the EU strategic objectives in the Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy may mean that the European Union will take positions and carry out actions and projects contrary to the values protected by international treaties protecting human rights<\/b>, such as the right to life from conception, or parents\u2019 right to raise their children in conformity with their own convictions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    2. It is recommended that Member States express opposition to the proposal of the European Commission and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy within the Council of the European Union and the European Council.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. General information<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        On 25 March 2020, the European Commission together with the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy presented the new \u201cEU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy for 2020\u20132024\u201d[1]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> (hereinafter referred to as: the Action Plan). It is a document of strategic importance for the European Union\u2019s external actions, in which its main priorities in the scope of the promotion of human rights and democracy towards third countries and international organisations (UN, OSCE and the Council of Europe) are outlined.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        Additionally, the European Commission and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy presented a document determining the procedure of adopting the abovementioned Action Plan, which will allow the Council of the European Union to take decisions on the EU foreign policy concerning human rights and democracy under the qualified majority voting procedure (so far the Council of the European Union has adopted decisions in the abovementioned scope unanimously). This means that the European Union would be able to adopt common positions, for example at the UN, contrary to the values represented by some Member States, including the admissibility of prenatal killing (abortion)<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Procedure<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          While presenting the Action Plan\u2019s assumptions concerning human rights and democracy on the basis of Article 22(2) of the Treaty on the European Union[2]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, the European Commission and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy submitted the common proposal regarding the recommendation of the Council of the European Union to the European Council on adopting the decision determining the EU\u2019s strategic objectives fulfilled within the EU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy for 2020\u20132024[3]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. The Council of the European Union may adopt the abovementioned recommendation by a unanimous vote.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          The procedure initiated by the European Commission assumes that the European Council will unanimously take decisions on the EU\u2019s strategic interests and objectives concerning the common foreign and security policy and other areas regarding the EU\u2019s external actions (Article 22(1) of the Treaty on European Union). On the basis of the abovementioned decision of the European Council, the Council of the European Union will be allowed under the procedure of qualified majority to take decisions determining the EU\u2019s actions or positions in the indicated scope (Article 31(2) of the Treaty on European Union). Currently, these decisions are taken pursuant to the unanimity rule.<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Priorities and implementation of the new Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The Action Plan presented by the European Commission determines the overriding priorities and objectives of the EU\u2019s policy in the scope of human rights for the next 4 years[4]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. As indicated by the European Commission, more than 140 EU delegations and offices around the world and Member States\u2019 embassies will be at the forefront of the implementation of the Action Plan, adjusting its priorities and objectives to local circumstances and submitting reports on their effects. Moreover, the EU delegations will cooperate with Member States in order to determine specific priorities in the countries of their operation for a period of five years. These activities will be supported by significant financial resources and political base. Programmes and projects at the national, regional and global level, as well as missions and operations within the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP)[5]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> are to contribute to the achievement of specific objectives.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

            The objectives determined by the European Commission include:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Protecting and empowering individuals;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
            2. Building resilient, inclusive and democratic societies;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
            3. Promoting a global system for human rights and democracy;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
            4. Delivering by working together.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

               <\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Objections to the Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Promotion of the gender <\/i>and LGBT ideology<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  The content of the \u201cProtecting and empowering individuals\u201d point, including postulates referring to the \u201cgender\u201d and LGBT ideology, raises special concerns[6]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. In order to combat so-called gender<\/i>-based violence, the European Commission plans to intensify measures aimed at adopting and implementing the controversial Istanbul Convention. This document assumes that \u201cviolence against women is a manifestation of historically unequal power relations between women and men, which have led to domination over, and discrimination against, women by men\u201d[7]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. This violence is said to be a structural phenomenon conditioned by gender <\/i>(\u201csocial-cultural gender\u201d) or the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for women and men[8]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. The strategy for combating violence presented in the Istanbul Convention assumes ideologised education of children and youth \u2013 including sex education, which may violate parents\u2019 right to raise their children in conformity with their own convictions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Promotion of so-called reproductive and sexual rights<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    The document also includes references to the Conferences in Cairo (1994) and Beijing (1995) as well as a declaration of commitment to the promotion of so-called reproductive and sexual health and rights. The \u201creproductive rights and reproductive and sexual health\u201d term was formulated at the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo (1994). From the very beginning, it has been arousing numerous controversies and to this day it is still not clearly defined, while radical circles use it to widely promote abortion and permissive sex education. It should be stressed that due to objections of numerous countries, a separate category of \u201csexual rights\u201d was not formulated intentionally due to its ideological character. Despite numerous objections, the concept of reproductive rights (and sometimes also sexual rights) is included in the scope of different documents formulated by international bodies, frequently against the will of numerous Member States. An example of its use for purposes contrary to the states\u2019 positions is the recent Nairobi Summit[9]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> or current works on Universal Health Coverage[10]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. During these events, Member States (also Poland) objected to using it[11]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, in particular for purposes of promotion of legalisation of prenatal killing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                    Moreover, it should be recalled that under international law, there is no such notion as the \u201cright to abortion\u201d, and states have repeatedly expressed their objection to attempts to create such a right. Abortion constitutes a violation of fundamental human rights, in particular the right to life, freedom from torture and inhuman treatment. It also constitutes an expression of one of the most cruel forms of discrimination based on sex, colour, disability or just the fact of \u201cbeing unwanted\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                    It should also be stressed that the issues of sexual and reproductive health fall within the scope of the Member States\u2019 health policy, for which the European Union has only supporting competences, and it may not strive for the harmonisation of law in the Member States[12]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. Therefore, it is questionable whether the EU has the competence to address this issue and formulate common positions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. EU positions taken so far at the UN<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      The tools which are to be used for the implementation of the \u201cProtecting and empowering individuals\u201d objective include, for example, resolutions of the UN Human Rights Council and the UN General Assembly, support for the ratification and implementation of relevant conventions of the UN and the International Labour Organization (ILO) as well as optional reports or statements on violating human rights[13]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                      The account of positions taken by the EU at the UN shows that the EU goes far beyond the internationally established consensus on the controversial concepts described above. The European Union\u2019s positions at the Nairobi Summit (from which many countries, including Poland, categorically distanced themselves) and the High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage have already been mentioned. During both of these events, the European Union was in favour of the full implementation of so-called \u201creproductive and sexual rights\u201d (despite the fact that this term was rejected by Member States) and the individual\u2019s right to \u201cdecide on their own body\u201d. In both positions, the \u201cneed to ensure common access to (…) sex education and health services\u201d was also stressed. Similar declarations also appeared in the position presented at the end of last year by the EU at the UN General Assembly on the resolution concerning \u201cGlobal health and foreign policy\u201d. Furthermore, this position included references to the concept of gender-based violence. A meaningful fact is that postulates connected with combating contagious diseases, ensuring access to healthy food, clean water and health education and prevention appear at the end of this document and are of secondary character in relation to \u201creproductive and sexual rights\u201d[14]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. Another document including references to this concept is the EU\u2019s statement on the UNGA resolution on women and development[15]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                      Departure from the unanimity rule will only sanction the practice of adopting by the EU positions going far beyond the agreed consensus. As a consequence, the voice of Member States objecting to the adoption of these positions will be even further marginalised and will not constitute a reference point in the debate about the shape of the policy adopted by the EU.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                                      Moreover, one of reference points for the assessment of the implementation of the Action Plan is to be debates and resolutions taken by the European Parliament[16]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. In recent years, the European Parliament has repeatedly taken positions promoting access to prenatal killing as a human right, while its absence was considered a form of violence against women[17]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                      The promotion of legalisation on prenatal killing is in conflict with the binding international law, i.e. with Article 2(1) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms[18]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, Article 2(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union[19]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, Article 6(1) and (5) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights[20]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> and Article 6 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child[21]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. Forcing vulgar sex education and \u201cgender\u201d ideology violates parents\u2019 right to raise their children in conformity with their own convictions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                      Given the differentiated attitude of states towards the term and scope of the concept of \u201creproductive and sexual health and rights\u201d \u2014 in particular the objection expressed by Poland and a number of other Member States \u2014 the European Union should not take common positions or common actions on the international scene.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                       <\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. Conclusions<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        The procedure proposed by the European Commission on adopting the Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy for 2020\u20132024 is equal to the adoption by the European Union of a uniform position in relation to human rights and democracy in its foreign policy. The acceptance by Member States of the European Commission\u2019s proposal will involve the limitation of Member States\u2019 competences at the international arena to express their own position on key issues concerning, for example, the protection of life from conception.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                        Taking into account the positions presented so far by the European Parliament or Member States at the UN concerning abortion, sex education and \u201cgender\u201d, there is a fully justified fear that the European Union will run a policy in the abovementioned scope contrary to international human rights treaties. Therefore, it is recommended to express the objection at the Council of the European Union and the European Council to the European Commission\u2019s proposal concerning the adoption of the Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy for 2020\u20132024.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
