Bus/Financial - Government / Politics / Entwicklungshilfe und Menschenrechtsklauseln | | English term or phrase: to defend letting other nations' action influence | (The text is about the pros and cons of human rights clauses in cooperation agreements and about the question, whether human rights conditionality can be effective in a multi-donor environment. I don't quite understand what exactly is meant by "would be harder to defend letting other nations actions influence the EU's actions"). Die vorangehenden Sätze lauten:
Such an approach (i.e. applying negative conditionality more systematically) would give more programmatic substance to negative conditionality, making it part of a policy instead of a mere mechanism to react to violations in a haphazard way. In that case, it would be much harder to defend letting other nations' actions influence the EU's, as geopolitical considerations would play less of a role in the decision-making in the first place. |
