Counter practices of unlawful detention and removal of foreign nationals from the EU. 4. Ensure scrupulous observance of the international protection obligations when developing the external dimension of asylum and immigration policies. 5. Promote the early ratification and implementation of the European Convention Against Trafficking. In the world: 6. Press for more active implementation of the human rights guidelines. 7. Reaffirm unequivocally the absolute prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment. 8. Press for a binding international Arms Trade Treaty. 9. Galvanise global support for UN reform towards the promotion and protection of human rights. 10. Assert a strong human rights dimension in the EU’s enlargement and neighbourhood policies.
