Moreover, the rise of <strong>right-wing populism<\/strong> across Europe is likely to push for more expenses in the sector, to build border fortifications and military security policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the rest, this appeal is to request EUR 7 billion for <strong>non-violent conflict transformation<\/strong> and <strong>peacebuilding<\/strong> and EUR 3 billion for the promotion of <strong>human rights<\/strong> and <strong>democracy <\/strong>in the next EU financial framework (2021-2027).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peace as a value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the <strong>Treaty of Lisbon<\/strong> itself states that &#8220;the Union\u2019s aim is to promote peace, its values and the well-being of its peoples&#8221; (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Art. 3 (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/IT\/TXT\/?uri=CELEX%3AC2007%2F306%2F01\" target=\"_blank\">Art. 3<\/a>).
