13th Human Rights Dialogue held in Yerevan

On January 18, the European Union and Armenia held their 13th Human Rights Dialogue in Yerevan, the Delegation of the European Union to Armenia said in a press release.

Armenia and the EU are committed to strengthening their partnership, advancing the human rights agenda, delivering tangible benefits to their citizens and building more inclusive societies.

This year’s dialogue focused on a wide range of topics, including gender equality and non-discrimination, freedom of assembly, freedom of expression and information, electoral and constitutional reform, the rights of refugees, as well as strengthening labor rights.

The EU congratulated Armenia on positive developments related to human rights since the last Human Rights Dialogue in November 2022, despite the complex humanitarian challenges and the difficult security context.

An important milestone was the adoption of the National Human Rights Action Plan (HRAP) 2023-2025.
