Abstract

This paper is primarily about how the EU -European Union- dealt with and further deals with its role in promoting the human rights within the context of its internal human rights policy. In this context, the results of the potential evolutions regarding the possession of a binding Charter of Fundamental Rights and the accession of the EU to ECHR -The European Convention on Human Rights- are also analyzed. Furthermore, the importance of the Copenhagen political criteria from the perspective of Turkey - EU relations is discussed. Turkey’s progress in human rights is examined as an example for showing the effects of the EU’s role in promoting respect for human rights with regard to its external human rights policy. Finally the underlying reasons beneath the decrease of the progress speed are asessed.
