"No major government policy, from promoting sustainable security and peace, to achieving sustainable development and social justice, to protecting the world’s environment, to ensuring social resilience, inclusiveness, tolerance, fairness, and progress, can be achieved without the rule of law and human rights at its core," said EU Special Representative for Human Rights, Stavros Lambrinidis, when he addressed the 37th session of the Human Rights Council, which took place in Geneva from 26 February to 23 March 2018.
