The European Commission under the European
Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) has launched this call for proposals
to provide funding support for civil society in its actions to
fight impunity in the broad sense.
The specific objectives of this Call
for Proposals are two-fold:
1. Civil society actions against
torture, and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
2. Civil society actions promoting the
effective functioning of the International Criminal Court and the Rome Statute
system
There are two lots under this call for proposals:
Lot (1) Civil society actions against
torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
Actions under this lot will provide
support to civil society projects contributing to making the absolute
prohibition of torture a reality for all. It ultimately aims at ensuring
accountability for torture and other ill treatment in third countries.
Lot (2) Civil society actions promoting
the effective functioning of the International Criminal Court and the Rome
Statute system
The International Criminal Court for
the purpose of preventing and curbing the commission of the serious crimes
falling within its jurisdiction is an essential means of promoting respect for
international humanitarian law and human
rights.
Proposed actions should fully take on
board the decisions made at the Review Conference of the Rome Statute (Kampala,
2010) and at the Assembly of State Parties.
This call is initially seeking only concept notes
from applicants. Review of concept notes will shortlist organizations to submit more
detailed proposals.
The deadline to submit proposals is 20
July 2012. For more information, visit this link.
