16 AUDIT OF RECOMMENDATIONS IN 2015 Partnership from Russian engagement in Eastern Ukraine, and offer rther integration prospects for countries that have signed association agreements. The Eastern Partnership summit in Riga did not result in any breakthrough. The priorities of the Czech Republic were met by the separation of three more advanced and three slower countries. However, nothing more substantial beyond the framework of association agreements was offered to Ukraine, Moldavia and Georgia. The Czech Republic also supported the Polish-Swedish proposal to intensi the initiative introduced at December’s meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council. → 70% successful 10. The Czech Republic should firmly support the policy of promoting civil and political rights. The response to contradictions criticized in current policy is a more consistent defense of political rights, both internally and externally. What’s more, such a course of actions does not weaken the Czech Republic, particularly when focused on highlighting the incorporation of the universali of human rights in international agreements. Expansion by rther dimensions of human rights, i.e. social, environmental or gender rights, may be usel, but only if there is a concurrent increase in human and financial resources, and a corresponding abili to implement such projects by Czech NGOs. Otherwise, such expansion will only be a pretext for weakening the emphasis on civil and political rights. There were no significant changes in Czech human rights policy in newly adopted policy documents – Czech Foreign Policy Concept and the Concept for Promotion of Human Rights and Transformation Cooperation. There was an emphasis on the universali of human rights and the projection of these rights into all dimensions of foreign policy. The promotion of human rights in an atmosphere of mutual dialogue and respect was also mentioned, while pointing out that human rights must not be abandoned even under less favorable conditions. Such a formulation indicates a gradual neutralization of the original aim and remains unclear. The declared expansion of Czech interest in the inclusion of other dimensions of human rights (especially 2nd and 3rd generation rights) was not accompanied by an increase in nding for this area. → 50% successful
