The Nobel Peace Prize should prompt the European Union and its members to do more to defend rights at home and abroad, stand up for victims, expose abusers, and ensure justice for serious crimes.  To date, the EU and member states have often proved unwilling to tackle human rights abuses at home, including inadequate protection for migrants, discrimination against Roma, deteriorating media freedom, and racist violence. On foreign policy, the EU can and should be a much more forceful defender of human rights around the world. 27 EU foreign ministers committed to do exactly that when they adopted a comprehensive human rights package in June.
