   ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSIONS
   
   Election observation missions (EOMs) provide a comprehensive, independent and
   impartial assessment of an electoral process according to international
   standards for democratic elections. The EU is a worldwide recognised credible
   actor in international election observation. Since 2000, the EU has deployed
   over 160 EOMs in more than 60 countries.

   IRAN & JCPOA
   
   Since 2006, the EU High Representative has led diplomatic efforts between the
   E3/EU+3 (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United
   States) and Iran, which led to the conclusion of the Joint Comprehensive Plan
   of Action on Iran’s nuclear program (JCPOA) in Vienna on 14 July 2015. The
   JCPOA is designed to ensure that Iran’s nuclear programme will be exclusively
   peaceful and provides for the comprehensive lifting of UN, EU and US
   nuclear-related sanctions.
   
   
   
 * What we do
   
   All over the world, the EU works to prevent and resolve conflicts,
   to support resilient democracies, to promote human rights and sustainable
   development, to fight climate change, and to contribute to a rules-based
   global order.
   
   EU PEACE, SECURITY AND DEFENCE
   
   In an increasingly interconnected world, Europe’s security starts abroad.
   European citizens expect and deserve to live in a safe and stable
   environment. In the face of increased global instability, the EU needs to
   take more responsibility for its own security and increase its capacity to
   act autonomously.
   
   
   CRISIS RESPONSE
   
   Crises can affect EU citizens, staff and interests outside of the EU. To
   protect them, the EU is strengthening its response to security and consular
   crises. The EEAS Crisis Response Centre contributes to this work.
   
   
   HUMAN RIGHTS & DEMOCRACY
   
   In a shifting geopolitical landscape, the EU has remained a strong defender
   of human rights. New geopolitical rivalries only serve to underline its role
   as a reliable and stable partner, and a champion of the rules-based
   international order.
   
   
   GENDER & DIVERSITY
   
   Gender equality and women’s empowerment, but also diversity in the broadest
   sense of the word, are political objectives and priorities of the EU in all
   of its internal and external policy.
   
   
   CLIMATE, ENVIRONMENT & ENERGY
   
   Climate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to
   Europe and the world. The EU promotes the approach of the European Green Deal
   of a just transition towards sustainable, resource-efficient and climate
   neutral economies and energy systems.
   
   
   MULTILATERAL RELATIONS
   
   In today’s world marked by major geopolitical and economic power shifts,
   multilateralism is still the most effective means to govern global relations
   in a way that benefits all. The EU stands committed to a renewed
   multilateralism fit for the 21st century.
   
   
   MIGRATION & FORCED DISPLACEMENT
   
   Migration is a global phenomenon presenting a unique set of challenges while
   offering substantial benefits to countries of origin and destination as well
   as migrants. The EU works to ensure that migration takes place in a safe,
   regular and sustainable manner.
   
   
   EU ENLARGEMENT & NEIGHBOURHOOD
   
   The EU prioritises development and stability in the wider region and
   neighbourhood, working in close partnership with its neighbours to the East
   and South and supporting the reforms required by countries that want to
   become EU members.
   
   
   HUMANITARIAN & EMERGENCY RESPONSE
   
   The European Union together with its Member States is the world’s leading
   humanitarian donor. New challenges, same principles, humanitarian aid is a
   key pillar of the EU’s external action and an important part of its ability
   to project its values globally.
   
   
   INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION & PARTNERSHIP
   
   The European Union, more than ever, needs to work closely with partners to
   face the global challenges and build together a safer, greener, more
   prosperous and equal world.
   
   
   CULTURAL RELATIONS
   
   Cultural diversity is one of the emblems of the EU and its Member States and
   a tool to strengthen cultural relations beyond our borders, to connect people
   worldwide, to share values, to improve international relations and to learn
   from each other’s practice. 
   
   
   TACKLING DISINFORMATION, FOREIGN INFORMATION MANIPULATION & INTERFERENCE
   
   Since 2015, the EU has significantly improved its capacity to tackle Foreign
   Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI), protecting the EU’s
   democratic processes, security and citizens.
   
   
   GLOBAL GATEWAY
   
   The Global Gateway is a new European strategy to boost smart, clean and
   secure links in digital, energy and transport sectors and to strengthen
   health, education and research systems across the world.
   
   
   DIGITAL DIPLOMACY
   
   Digital technologies have brought new opportunities into the lives of people
   around the world. They have also become key competitive parameters that can
   shift the balance of power. The goal of EU Digital Diplomacy is to secure the
   EU global role in the digital world, to protect its strategic interests and
   to promote its dynamic, human-centric regulatory framework for an inclusive
   digital transformation.
   
   
   ECONOMIC RELATIONS - TRADE & SUSTAINABILITY
   
   In its trade relations, the EU promotes a sustainable growth model as defined
   by the European Green Deal and the European Digital Strategy, which can help
   the recovery from the COVID-19 economic crisis.
   
   
   EU SANCTIONS
   
   Restrictive measures, or sanctions, are one of the EU's tools to promote the
   objectives of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). 
   
   
   SCIENCE DIPLOMACY
   
   Science and technology play an increasing role in the geopolitical arena.
   
   
   PUBLIC DIPLOMACY
   
   Building bridges between the European Union and the rest of the world
