TunisiaAt EUPOL COPPS Human Rights Day is every day
Accountable justice and security sector institutions are key for upholding international human rights and the rule of law. “As EUPOL COPPS we are committed to putting human rights at the forefront when supporting our Palestinian partners working in justice and security institutions”, says EUPOL COPPS Head of Mission, Karin Limdal, on the occasion of International Human Rights Day, marking this 10 December the 76th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A human rights-based approach applies to all EUPOL COPPS’s actions and activities in support of the Palestinian justice and security institutions.
Whether by standardizing legal procedures, by clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the justice institutions, by partnering up with civil society when training security forces on the Convention against Torture, or by training officers of the Correctional and Rehabilitation Centers on the Mandela Rules and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Mission aims to help build an effective and accountable Palestinian state apparatus. As such, EUPOL COPPS continues to intensify its capacity-building efforts, ensuring these principles translate into improved delivery of justice and security services for the Palestinian people. This reflects the Mission’s commitment to its Palestinian partners and to the broader society they serve.
