'One of Us' campaign challenges veto at EU court

The organisers of the "One of Us" citizens' initiative are challenging the European Commission's rejection of the Initiative before the General Court of the European Union. The initiative, which called on the EU to stop financing embryonic stem cell research and other practices that destroy unborn life, garnered over 2 million signatures, but the European Commission decided not to refer it for debate in the European parliament because EU policy in this area had been "only recently discussed and decided."
