Det här är rapporter skrivna och sammanställda av Civil Rights Defenders experter. Syftet är att presentera en överblick över de viktigaste människorättsfrågorna i de länder och regioner där vi arbetar. Rapporterna uppdateras en gång om året. I dagsläget finns inte alla översatta till svenska.
(Updated in October 2012) In last four years, Macedonia has shown little progress towards meeting EU criteria as regards strengthening the rule of law and respect for human rights, and the country still has not met the necessary requirements for EU membership. The political sphere and developments there were marked by weak dialogue between political [...]
(Updated in October 2012) Four years after the declaration of independence, Kosovo still faces the challenge of becoming a state based on the principles of the rule of law, democracy and human rights. The challenges lying ahead are immense, as regards accomplishing the required reforms in the judiciary, public administration and the fight against corruption. [...]
(Updated in October 2012) The awareness of citizens regarding domestic laws and the European Convention on Human Rights (EctHR) remains low. Nevertheless, the ECtHR is considered to be the most important and secure legal instrument to guarantee human rights protection and reinstatement of violated rights. Up to now, the European Court has delivered 33 judgments [...]
(Updated in October 2012) Since October 2009, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) delivered 61 judgments finding that Serbia had violated the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in 54 cases. At the time of reporting, there are 7.050 applications against Serbia pending, which is almost 4.6% of all [...]
(Updated in October 2012) Montenegro is a state party to all major international human rights standards, but ratification of some conventions has been delayed. The final version of the new Constitution adopted in October 2007 generally provides favourable human rights protection. However, some pieces of legislation that were adopted after the new Constitution are still [...]
(Updated in August 2012) In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the implementation of ratified UN and international human rights conventions remains uneven and partial. The on-going political disputes are still directing attention away from major human rights issues. Up till now, BIH has not implemented the European Court of Human Rights ruling in the Case of Sejdic [...]
(Updated in February 2012) Human rights defenders across Southeast Asia’s lower Mekong countries are fighting against restrictions on freedom of expression. The situation, however, is extremely varied across the nations: while there is widespread fear and over 2,000 activists in prison in Burma, activists in Thailand are able to publicly discuss and criticise restrictions on [...]
(Updated in January 2012) East Africa encompasses Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda and in a wider sense also Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Sudan, South Sudan and Somalia (including the self-declared republic of Somaliland). The East African region is long subjected to economic underdevelopment and unequal terms of trade and conflict. At the same time, it [...]
(Updated in January 2012) The era after gaining independence has been turbulent for the five Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Two decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Central Asia is still described as one of the most repressive regions in the world. Kazakhstan is rich in natural resources [...]
(Updated December 2011) The overall situation in Belarus seemed to remain on a stable, negative level during 2009 and 2010 with small improvements as a result of the dialogue between Belarus and the EU. However, since the elections on December 19, 2010, the human rights situation has hit an all time low with a massive, [...]
(Updated in October 2011) Moldova is a country in political and constitutional crisis. Moldova held parliamentary elections twice in 2009 and once in November 2010. The results of the elections show a country that is almost evenly divided between the Communist Party, on the one hand, and pro-Western parties on the other. The pro-Western parties [...]
(Uppdaterad i maj 2011) Det allmänna klimatet för de mänskliga rättigheterna i Ryssland fortsätter att vara mycket bistert. Ryssland är ett land med omfattande korruption på alla nivåer, vilket underminerar rättssäkerheten. Landet rankas som ett av världens tio farligaste och man har sett kriminaliteten öka drastiskt under de senaste tio åren. Trots president Dmitri Medevevs [...]
(Uppdaterad i september 2009) Det är lätt att hävda att Sverige inte har problem med allvarliga kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter i jämförelse med många andra länder. Men det är en klen tröst för den vars rättigheter inte respekterats. En av Civil Rights Defenders huvuduppgifter är att bevaka och rapportera om mänskliga rättigheter i vårt eget [...]
