Seminary: The European Citizens‘ Initiative as a new instrument for the democratization of the EU

• Representatives of Ordo Iuris took part in the second round of consultations ahead of the 58th Session of the UN Commission on Population and Development (CPD58) on global health policy.

• Ordo Iuris and Mathias Corvinus Collegium propose reforms to the European Union to restore national sovereignty and individual freedoms.
• The report offers two scenarios: one based on reforms to EU Treaties, the other on dissolving the EU and restarting cooperation from scratch.
• Key principles include national sovereignty, intergovernmental cooperation, and subsidiarity.
• The report critiques the EU’s growing bureaucracy, undermining national sovereignty, and the imposition of progressive ideologies.

• The European Union’s Council Conclusions on EU Priorities in UN Human Rights Fora in 2025 identify key areas of EU human rights activities at UN fora and refers to several universal human rights, such as freedom from torture and freedom of religion or belief.​

• Last week, experts from the Ordo Iuris Institute attended the 69th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York, the largest global gathering of countries and organizations focused on women's rights.
