HomeCompendium of international standards for elections
Fourth edition
Väljaande metaandmed
Elections provide examples of human rights in practice. Achieving a genuine, democratic electoral process is part of establishing a system of government that can ensure respect for human rights, the rule of law and the development of democratic institutions. The European Union has a long tradition of supporting human rights, democracy and the rule of law throughout the world, and these principles are enshrined in the basic EU treaties as fundamental values. In this context, election observation constitutes an important EU foreign policy and external assistance instrument. This Compendium provides an overview of international standards for elections, the key relevant texts, a matrix of the commitments of individual states, information on standards by area of assessment and a list of useful references for further information. This fourth edition also includes an explanation of human rights protection systems and election-related jurisprudence. It is complemented by an online database of international election-related caselaw, available at www.eods.eu. The Compendium is primarily designed for people working on EU election observation missions (EU EOMs), but may also be useful to interested stakeholders and analysts, including parliamentarians and lawmakers, election administrators, other international observer groups, citizen observers, candidates and parties, implementers of technical assistance and other interested stakeholders. International standards provide those interested in an election with a tool for assessing the process according to agreed criteria for genuine elections. It is the EU’s expectation that EU EOMs will make regular use of this tool to assess the conduct of elections in line with international standards and ensure coherence among EU EOMs.
