Pour étendre ensuite la portée de cet engagement de Barcelone, plusieurs dizaines de maires de villes européennes ont adopté, à XX, une Charte européenne des droits de l'homme dans la ville, pour décliner à l'échelon municipal quelques-uns uns des droits humains fondamentaux et les traduire en actes.

aplicar, adaptar, adoptar
Explanation:
...para aplicar a escala municipal algunos de estos...

Un sinónimo de décliner es "dire, ennoncer", pero en este caso creo que se pretende ir más allá del dicho, hasta la implementación.

neutral  Rosa Maria Duenas Rios (X): Este es uno de esos casos en los que el significado más literal del término no funciona. Lo wque se pretende es aplicar, no rechazar, los derechos humanos a escala municipal; traducirlos en actos.
