From Democracy Digest:
The European Commission has launched a call for proposals through its European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights, which is designed to support civil society to become an effective force for political reform and defense of human rights. This call has 3 main lots: (1) business and human rights, (2) fight against torture and other ill-treatment, and (3) democratic accountability.
Organizations from the countries in the Black Sea Region and neighboring areas, mainly Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Republic of Moldova, Ukraine, and Turkey can apply under the second lot: 2. Fight against torture and other ill-treatment. The specific objective lot 2 is to provide support to civil society projects by contributing to the prohibition and prevention of torture, ensuring accountability for torture and other ill treatment outside the EU, in particular by supporting civil society in the implementation of existing legislation, court rulings, regional statutes, and other forms of regulations on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
