THE ASSISTANCE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION IN THE FIELD OF JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS WITHIN THE EASTERN PARTENRSHIP: FAILURE OR OPPORTUNITY. AZERBAIJAN CASE STUDY.

Summary/Abstract: The European Union provides considerable assistance for the Eastern Partnership countries through its programmes and initiatives, taking into account different evolutions and progress obtained. However, if several countries have signed the Association Agreement and others have not obtained considerable results, it is seen not only a justified differentiation between the approaches towards this countries, but also a differentiated financing of achieved results. Thus, the Eastern Partnership as a whole and the Azerbaijan involvement in particular can be considered both a success and a failure, having in mind all stakeholders and interests needed to be analysed. Azerbaijan has both results and stagnations, with a total different development, but the financial assistance of the European Union is continuing to be delivered, regardless civil society reports and complaints. While Azerbaijan has not obtained considerable results in visa liberalisation or association agreement, it is still one of the EU’s main strategic partners from the Eastern Partnership. The financial assistance of the European Union in the region covers main area of development, with special focus on the justice sector and the justice reform, having in mind its independence, integrity its anticorruption capacities and respect for human rights, including in Azerbaijan where the civil society is struggling for freedom of expression and meeting according to several latest reports.
