Test Case Belarus
Consequences for the EU after the 2010 Belarusian Presidential Election
On the evening of the Belarusian presidential election Alexander Lukashenko showed that democracy in Belarus will only be possible without him. The violent disbanding of protests and the disregard for the most basic human rights by the Belarusian security service should be answered with harsh sanctions by the European Union. If the European Union takes its advocacy for democracy and human rights seriously, it needs to make Belarus a test case for a consistent foreign policy.
