The international road transport sector is a cornerstone of Europe's economy and society, ensuring that citizens across the EU have access to essential goods and services. Nearly 90 % of transport workers are employed in land transport, with road transport representing the largest share. It is therefore particularly important to ensure adequate working conditions, fair wages, social protection, job security and safety, as well as comprehensive and accessible legislation for these workers. It is also essential to address demographic trends and to help workers adapt to the new digital environment and environmental requirements. At the EU level, legislation and various initiatives aim to address the challenges faced by road transport workers. The 2020 Mobility Package I covers the posting of drivers outside their home country, driving and rest time rules (including the use of tachographs), access to the profession, and market access (the latter applying specifically to goods transport). Another directive regulates driving times, breaks and rest periods in occasional passenger services. The revised Driving Licence Directive seeks to tackle driver shortages. EU initiatives focus on incentivising young people's and women's participation in the sector, on addressing the impact automation and digitalisation have on it, and on improving the provision of clear information on relevant EU legislation to drivers. The future holds new challenges and opportunities for the sector. The continued development of environmentally friendly transport modes, along with the wider deployment of intelligent transport systems and automated transport solutions, will reshape road transport and demand greater flexibility and adaptability from its workforce.

The fight against impunity remains a key challenge for the international community, as efforts to hold perpetrators of serious international crimes accountable are increasingly strained by geopolitical rivalries, fragmented enforcement and weak political will. This paper examines three accountability mechanisms – international criminal tribunals, universal jurisdiction and transitional justice – through comparative analysis and case studies. International criminal tribunals, from ad hoc tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda to the International Criminal Court, have advanced legal norms and secured landmark convictions. Yet, their legitimacy is weakened by high costs, slow trials, selective enforcement and limited cooperation from states. Universal jurisdiction allows national courts to prosecute atrocities irrespective of territorial or personal links. Its growing use in Europe, especially in cases linked to Syria and Ukraine, demonstrates potential, although inconsistent application and political frictions limit its effectiveness. Transitional justice, through truth commissions, reparations and institutional reforms, offers societies pathways to reconciliation and peace, but faces recurring challenges of political interference, resource scarcity and insufficient victim participation. Case studies from the Balkans, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Colombia, Syria and Israel-Palestine highlight that no single mechanism is sufficient. Instead, effective accountability requires context-sensitive and context-specific combinations of tools. The paper concludes with recommendations for strengthening the European Union’s global role.
