“…However, the broader picture of EU security policies reveals that there are substantial inconsistencies in the different issues relating to the southern Mediterranean as well as in the EU non-proliferation policies beyond that region. At first glance, this would seem to confirm earlier research results that have shown that the EU is only a normative power when it comes to certain issues (see Lerch & Schwellnus, 2006). However, it is not clear how narrow such an issue area can be in order to continue to recognise the EU as a normative power.…”

“…To capture the distinction between these types of justifi cation and to operationalize corresponding discursive frames, the theoretical approach relies on the theoretical distinction between pragmatic, ethical-political, and moral types of discourse. This distinction originates from the theory of communicative action developed by Jürgen Habermas and has been used in numerous contributions to research about the discursive dimension of European politics (Habermas 1993;Sjursen 2002Sjursen , 2006aVerney 2006;Lerch and Schwellnus 2006;Ecker-Ehrhardt 2007, cp. also framing approaches based on this distinction such as Helbling et al 2010, pp.…”

“…Furthermore, Hillion argues that the discrepancy between internal and external practices of the EU with regard to the fundamental rights including the human rights could damage the EU's credibility (Hillion 2013). In a similar vein, Lerch and Schwellnus entail the incoherence between internal and external approaches of the EU on the issue of "minority protection" and conclude that the incoherence damages the EU's normative power in this field (Lerch & Schwellnus 2006).…”

European Union (EU) aims to protect and promote human rights both in its internal policy and the external relations. Through this objective, the EU constitutes various mechanisms in order to protect its citizens' rights. Regarding its external relations, the Union enacts human rights clauses in trade and more comprehensive agreements with third countries. Moreover, it uses the conditionality principle as an effective tool to Europeanize the countries in terms of human rights practices that aspire to join the EU. In order to achieve its objective, the EU establishes strong links with civil society and aims to empower the democratic ground for human rights and democracy in third countries. However the EU's human rights regime is criticized from various aspects and the general discontent has escalated with the current refugee crisis and some deteriorating circumstances of the EU's widening and deepening in recent years. Against this background, this article aims to elaborate the EU's human rights regime and examine the current
