The EU continues to call on Burkinabe, Malian and Nigerien authorities to uphold human
rights, international humanitarian law, and democratic values and principles through a
comprehensive multi-layered approach to protect individual dignity, limit armed conflict,
and support open, resilient societies. As part of the renewed EU approach for the Sahel, the
EU interests include supporting peace and security, protecting and promoting
multilateralism, defending universal values and human rights.
The EU remains seriously concerned about the continued deterioration of democracy,
human rights and the rule of law in Nicaragua. We call for an immediate end to repression,
including transnational repression, against political opponents, journalists, civil society,
NGOs, indigenous and religious organisations. The EU is deeply concerned about the
closed civic space which together with fundamental freedoms must be restored. We call for
the immediate release of all political prisoners and all those arbitrarily detained. The EU
denounces Nicaragua’s weaponisation of deprivation of citizenship. We urge Nicaragua to
adhere to its human rights obligations and cooperate with international human rights
organisations and mechanisms.
