"Human rights constitute a founding principle of the EU, as set out in Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), and their promotion and defence are a core policy of external action and common security. Following several demands by Parliament, on the basis of Article 33 TEU, the Council is being called on to appoint an EU Special Representative for Human Rights (EUSR), so as to make EU policy more effective and visible, and to bring it more in line with the other international organisations already on the ground. This post is intended to give more visibility to the EU’s role in promoting human rights and democracy in the world. To that end, there must be coordination with the other services and institutions within the EU, and the EUSR should be able to engage with international, regional and non-governmental organisations. The EUSR should be an internationally known person with visibility in the field of human rights. His or her mandate should be for two years, with the possibility of renewal following consultation with Parliament."@en1
