Human Rights in the EU: How the Lisbon Treaty Could Help, the first report in a series on vital issues for the future of open society in Europe, focuses on how EU-level institutions, political processes, and legal frameworks can be used to protect and advance open society.

The Lisbon Treaty could have major implications for the protection of human rights in Europe, but nobody knows exactly what they will be. To promote greater understanding of the opportunities that the treaty has opened up for human rights advocates, the Open Society Institute-Brussels commissioned this report from Hugo Brady, a leading expert on EU policy on justice and home affairs and senior research fellow at the Centre for European Reform, a European think tank based in London.
