Abstract [en]

Human rights are the basis of Finland's foreign policies and the fundamental values of the European Union (EU). Finland's foreign policy position has changed remarkably since the end of the Cold War and with the collapse of the Soviet Union, and upon the ending of the Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance (FCMA) in 1992. This Bachelor thesis aims to analyze the change in Finland’s foreign policies on human rights through EU membership. Using small state theory and the theory of EU normative power, this study aims to answer a two-part research question: What impact did EU membership have on Finland's foreign and security policies in relation to human rights? And how is the change reflected in the Finnish Government's foreign policy reports, if there is any? The material of the research is foreign policy reports from 1995 and 2020, which are analyzed using comparative content analysis and supported by critical discourse analysis. This thesis was able to conclude that the change in Finland's position on human rights in the foreign and security policy reports, was a result of the EU membership through which Finland has committed to the agreements and cooperations on promoting human rights. The comparative analysis indicates that Finland has a more profound human rights agenda in the report 2020 compared to the 1995 report.
