Abstract
For IR scholars “the most striking change” of the twentieth century is that it is “no longer acceptable for a government to make sovereignty claims in defense of egregious human rights abuses”.1 The optimism of the immediate post-Cold War era that countries would embrace democracy, human rights and the rule of law pervades, has been reechoed by the prospects of the Arab Spring that began in 2011.2 Even before those events, Soviet-era dissident Natan Sharansky wrote that Helsinki’s Cold War-era linkage of human rights “must now be done in the Arab world”. Both the CoE and the OSCE had engagement with the Arab world before 2011, and sought to support those democratization processes.3
