In areas in which the European Union does not have exclusive competence, the principle of subsidiarity, laid down in the Treaty on European Union, defines the circumstances in which it is preferable for action to be taken by the Union, rather than the Member States.

The EU budget is financed in large part from own resources, and supplemented by other revenue. Annual revenue must completely cover annual expenditure, as a budget deficit is not allowed. The system of own resources is decided by the Council on the basis of unanimity, having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, and needs to be ratified by each Member State. A reform of the own resources system composed of two packages of new own resources was proposed by the Commission in 2022 and 2023. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Thirty-one out of 54 African countries criminalise consensual same-sex relations between adults. In addition, several African countries penalise the public expression of lesbian, gay, trans, intersex, queer and other non-heteronormative (LGBTIQ+ ) identities, or those who fight for LGBTIQ+ rights. This criminalisation leads to violations of privacy and inhumane treatment, with some countries even providing for the death penalty. Despite decriminalisation in a few states like South Africa, Angola, and Mozambique, the trend of recriminalisation persists. Recently, Uganda and Ghana have enacted severe anti-LGBTIQ+ laws. Across the continent (with the notable exception of South Africa), LGBTIQ+ persons are still far from fully enjoying the same rights as other citizens. Intolerance of LGBTIQ+ behaviours is widespread in Africa; influences from religious leaders and the narrative that homosexuality is 'un-African' play a role in perpetuating this sentiment. Discrimination and violence against LGBTIQ+ persons have dire consequences on their livelihoods and their physical and mental health. Those advocating efforts for LGBTIQ+ rights face significant restrictions and threats, which hinder their ability to operate. The European Union, through guidelines and strategies, aims to promote LGBTIQ+ rights globally. However, its initiatives are often weakened by a cautious approach to avoid imposing values perceived by some in Africa as non-African. As a result, regional agreements with African partners do not explicitly mention LGBTIQ+ rights, a notion that a majority of African countries contest in multilateral arenas. Nevertheless, the European Parliament has consistently advocated for LGBTIQ+ rights, calling for increased funding, legal protection, and the universal decriminalisation of homosexuality.

Este documento se integra en una serie de estudios que, desde una perpectiva de Derecho Comparado, tienen como objeto analizar el principio de protección del Medio Ambiente en diferentes ordenamientos jurídicos. Tras la explicación de la normativa y la jurisprudencia de aplicación, se examinan el contenido, los límites y la posible evolución de dicho concepto. El presente estudio tiene por objeto el Derecho Internacional del Medio Ambiente. No trata la protección del Medio Ambiente en el marco de la Unión Europea, objeto de un estudio específico en esta misma Colección. El Derecho Internacional del Medio Ambiente es un sector de creación relativamente reciente. En su dimensión actual tiene su origen en las primeras conferencias de la ONU de Estocolmo (1972) y de Río de Janeiro (1992). Fruto de ese impulso normativo que continúa imparable es la regulación de numerosos sectores que integran el concepto global de Medio Ambiente (aire, atmósfera, Antártida, cambio climático, biodiversidad, bosques, capa de ozono, fauna y flora, cursos de agua transfronterizos y lagos internacionales, lucha contra la desertificación, medio marino, residuos). Desde el punto de vista normativo, las particularidades del Derecho Internacional también se manifiestan en él. Así, la pluralidad de normas de distinta naturaleza jurídica y efectos (convencionales, consuetudinarias e institucionales -actos de OOII-) que interaccionan y se complementan entre sí; sin que resulte de utilidad la distinción habitual entre normas vinculantes y no vinculantes. El Derecho Internacional del Medio Ambiente es un sector con incidencia en el de los derechos humanos. Es el caso, entre otros, de los derechos y obligaciones procedimentales en materia de acceso a la información, participación pública en la toma de decisiones, acceso a la justicia en cuestiones medioambientales o la evaluación de impacto ambiental. De ahí la abundante y relevante jurisprudencia internacional existente, vinculada con derechos como los relativos a la vida, la propiedad, la libertad de expresión, el derecho de recurso, la salud y, donde está recogido y/o el derecho a un Medio Ambiente sano.
