Abstract
[en] The Arab Spring events put in the spotlight the exportations of potentially dangerous dual- use (DU) items from the European Union (EU) to authoritarian regimes. These DU items were mostly new technologies, including cyber-surveillance technologies, and their export has resulted in numerous human rights (HR) violations. Faced with this situation, we ask the question: how did the EU react? Theoretically, everyone within the Union shall agree on rules to better protect HR since, in the official discourse on international discourse of EU representations and even of EU head of state and government, the promotion and protection of HR is a key component. Nevertheless, the theoretical European consensus on HR seems to not prevail for each actor when negotiating the DU reforms. This work will therefore look at the many disagreements that this policy has generated.
