Abstract:By tackling the malignant effects that pressure from religious fundamentalist groups has had on the Stockholm Program, this paper aims to emphasise the destructive power that discourses of hate may have on both social practices and the delivery of justice. One of the main goals of our European Union is to constitute itself as a secure space by promoting its core values not only internally, but around the world as well. However, in what regards the recognition of civil partnerships, for instance, there are huge differences among EU countries. The priorities of the Stockholm Program were to ensure that the Member States are held accountable if they refuse to respect the fundamental rights and freedoms of European citizens. But resistance to change, fuelled by deeply ingrained prejudice and deep-seated bigotry, has so far hindered the formation of a true European family, where freedom, democracy, the rule of law, as well as respect for human rights and human dignity are equally valued.
Key words:human rights, civil partnerships, justice, bigotry, discourses of hate
