Without Resolve
Human Rights Policy towards Uzbekis
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
Hundreds of people died in Andijan in May 2005 when Uzbek security forces broke up a demonstration. The European Union imposed sanctions on Uzbekistan, but also decided to remain in dialogue with Tashkent. In doing so, Brussels failed to orient itself along transparent criteria. That weakens the coherence, consistency and resolve of its own human rights policy.
