Abstract: 

This Research Report provides an analysis of the EU’s official discourse with respect to four human rights crises: the humanitarian crisis during and after the conflict in Gaza between Israeli forces and Hamas in 2008; the crisis caused by the Lebanon war of 2006; the humanitarian disaster of the Sudanese province of Darfur (2003-2010); and, finally, the political, social and economic crisis in Zimbabwe (2001-2011). The four case studies analyzed in this Research Report reveal a number of similar trends, as well as some stark differences.
