European Union policymakers are proud of their "strategic compass" to boost the bloc's defence and security. The rapid and dangerous decline in the EU's once-impressive moral compass needs similarly urgent attention.

Ambitions are high, with the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell insisting that Europeans are poised to become "reliable global security providers" … well, just about anywhere in the world. The rush to fulfil the EU's newly-minted manifest destiny is impressive. But it cannot hide — or excuse — the EU's parallel disregard for the human rights of millions of black and brown Europeans as well as of thousands of racialised refugees and migrants.
