The Ethos of Europe
Values, Law and Justice in the EU
Andrew Williams
University of Warwick
Can the EU become a 'just' institution? Andrew Williams
considers this highly charged political and moral question by
examining the role of five salient values said to be influential in
the governance and law of the Union: peace, the rule of law,
respect for human rights, democracy, and liberty. He assesses
each of these as elements of an apparent ‘institutional ethos’
and philosophy of EU law and finds that justice as a governing
ideal has failed to be taken seriously in the EU. To remedy this
condition, he proposes a new set of principles upon which
justice might be brought more to the fore in the Union’s
governance. By focusing on the realisation of human rights as a core institutional value,
Williams argues that the EU can better define its moral limits so as to evolve as a more just
project.
