Grave concern at creation of a new EU network of independent experts

We reported in a recent newsletter that pro-life and pro-family groups have expressed grave concern at the appointment by the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) of a new network of independent experts known as FRALEX. We have prepared a review of the issues surrounding this new panel of experts and its implications.

Controversial political agendas can be pushed through more easily if public debate is not allowed to take place. One strategy to avoid debate consists in pretending that decisions have already been taken long ago so that they cannot be questioned any more, or that they are pre-determined by high-ranking obligations that are binding on the policy makers. The reference to ‘Human Rights’ requirements plays a key role in this strategy, given that neither States nor individuals want to be seen as opposing the implementation of high human rights standards.

It is in this way that certain pressure groups attempt to impose on society a new ideology that is radically opposed to traditional concepts of marriage, the family, human dignity, and the right to life. They pretend that International Human Rights Law obliges States to legalize abortion and same-sex marriage. The present dossier provides information on how a small group of ‘experts’ called ‘FRALEX’, aka ‘The EU Network of Experts for Fundamental Rights’ promotes abortion and homosexuality by providing biased ‘expertise’ to complicit EU institutions.
