Europe

Human rights have long been taken for granted on the continent. Yet, in parts of Central and Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans and Turkey, the respect for human rights is in decline, bringing widespread challenges to the regions’ democratisation.

Meanwhile, populism and discrimination against minority groups is spreading, putting added pressure on civil society.
