This transatlantic dialogue focuses on the EU’s and the US’ positioning and action towards human rights and democracy in multilateral fora, such as the UN Human Rights Council and the UN General Assembly. The conversation between the two experts starts from a reflection on the efforts of both actors in the United Nations and other global governance frameworks to promote human rights and democracy over the last years. They will also discuss challenges that both actors have faced and still face in this regard. Moreover, the discussion will cover initiatives of the EU and the US to work together towards the promotion of human rights and democracy. These include the EU’s ‘New EU-US agenda for global change’ and its ‘Global human rights sanction system’ and the US administration’s plans to rejoin the UN Human Rights Council and to host a Summit for Democracy.
