YEREVAN, DECEMBER 10, ARMENPRESS: Raul de Luzenberger, head of the
EU delegation to Armenia, met today with students of Yerevan State
University. He delivered an open lecture on 'No to Discrimination as
a Priority of EU policy'.
The lecture was organized by the YSU Center for European Studies
(CES) within the framework of the 'Establishment of Regional Master's
Program in Human Rights and Democratization'. MA students of the
CES and faculties of law and international relations partook in the
lecture. The event was dedicated to the 62nd anniversary of adoption of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the UN General Assembly.
The day is marked in various states of the world. Arthur Ghazinyan,
head of the CES, says it is gratifying that the day is being marked
in Armenia as well. 'Since the independence of Armenia, the EU has
been investing in the development of human rights and democracy in
our country,' he said.
Raul de Lucenberger says EU endeavors to support peace and stability
in all over the world and 'in this matter the EU has been true to
its values'.
'In the 1950s, 6 states gathered and united several directions of the
state policy: economy was the primary direction,' Ambassador Raul de
Luzenberger said. He added that for this reason some described the
EU as an 'economic giant, but a political dwarf'.
'European states initiated a consistent march, which transformed
the continent from focus of wars into a continent of peace,' Raul de
Luzenberger said.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the
United Nations General Assembly December 10, 1948 at the Palais de
Chaillot in Paris. The Declaration arose directly from the experience
of the Second World War and represents the first global expression
of rights to which all human beings are entitled. The EU promotes
the protection of human rights both within its frontiers and in the
relations with other states.
