The EU Reinforces Trade Preferences: Human Rights and the GSP+ Revision
The Council of the EU formally adopted the revised GSP regulation on 22 May 2026, expanding human rights conditionality from 27 to 32 conventions. CAP Liberté de Conscience and IHRC welcome this reinforcement, noting that Pakistan’s GSP+ reappraisal offers an opportunity to address documented persecution of the Ahmadiyya community. The organisations urge the Commission to use the review to transform words into acts.
