Mission & Goals
The mission of the EU-LAT Network is to promote the transformation of European policies with Latin America so that human rights are respected, protected and promoted in the areas of political dialogue, development cooperation and trade and investment. The EU-LAT Network carries out its reflection, learning and political action within the framework of relations between the EU and Latin America, promoting strategic alliances with other key actors in the EU, in Latin America and globally. The EU-LAT Network aims to be an active, relevant, influential, robust and inclusive network, which acts as a reference point network for both civil society and political decision-makers in Europe for advocacy and dialogue, with robust alliances with other social actors, to transform EU-Latin America relations.

Member Of
Member of the HRDN http://www.hrdn.eu The Human Rights and Democracy Network (HRDN) is an informal grouping of NGOs operating at the EU-level in the broader areas of human rights, democracy and peacebuilding. HRDN’s vision is that human rights and democracy are placed at the heart of the EU's internal and external policy agenda. This vision should manifest itself in an EU which effectively protects human rights at home and is a force for positive change in the world. In pursuit of this vision, the network aims to influence EU and EU Member States’ human rights policies and the programming of their funding instruments to promote democracy, human rights and peace.
