Networking Support
YHRM as its mission declares also forming up the new generation of human rights defenders, so support of regional human rights and youth initiatives is an important part of YHRM activity.
The Block is called “Networking Support” because the main part of regional initiatives we support, are initiatives of participants of YHRM programs and projects. But in the same time our work in this block aims also to involve into human rights sphere new people, groups, organizations.
There can be selected 3 areas of work:
1) Competitive support of projects of human rights, civic and awareness nature, including competition of regional actions and campaigns to defend public interests and Human Rights;
2) Consultative, expert and technical assistance to YHRM activists and groups;
3) Support to regional human rights and youth initiatives, including antifascism initiatives.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
So, COP 14 (or, formally, the 14th Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change) is basically the same thing as the one that happened in Bali last December (hope you heard about it from the news). |
The Russian anti-Discrimination initiative (RaDi) published an alternative report entitled “On the realization of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in the Russian Federation”. |
The programme is carried out in two separate phases. The accepted participant undertakes to complete both phases. |
all advertisements ÍÎÂÎÑÒÈ:Russia and Georgia military involvement for quite short period of time had led to multiple victims among population and disastrous destructions on the territory of South Ossetia and Georgia. In these war crimes the guilt is owned to both sides – Georgia that had started military actions on South Ossetia territory, and Russia that had used such circumstances to invade Georgian territory. Both sides also guilty in nonselective use of fire, in use of heavy-weight ground arms and aviation in places of civilian population location, in that thousands inhabitants of South Ossetia and Georgia had become refugees. Neither one, nor the other side made no effective attempts for protection of local people living in the war conflict zone, supplied no safe evacuation from this territory. Consequently, both Russia and Georgia had lost the moral right to peacemaking in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It is international interference that needed for the conflict to be resolved. Russia by acting, not in words, should pullout troops from Georgia. Russia and Georgia should pullout their troops from South Ossetia and Abkhazia, in both regions the armed forces should be replaced by the presence of peacemaking units of the UN. |
Human Rights Watch researchers in South Ossetia on August 12, 2008, saw ethnic Georgian villages still burning from fires set by South Ossetian militias, witnessed looting by the militias, and learned firsthand of the plight of ethnic Ossetian villagers who had fled Georgian soldiers during the Georgian-Russian conflict over the breakaway region of South Ossetia. |
For a few days already Russia is at war. A war which is going on on our behalf, but in breach both of the UN mandate and the Constitution of the Russian Federation. A war called a “peacemaking operation”, but leading to the death of civilians. A war that every new day is motivated with more and more lies and seeds more and more hatred. A war which is accompanied with inaction of the world’s intergovernmental organizations and mutual accusations of double standards. |
